CBC to Launch 4 New Web Streams

According to Inside the CBC, Radio 2 will be launching four new radio streams when it relaunches on September 2.
"CBC Jazz: CBC Jazz will feature a “deep playlist” featuring jazz music and musicians from across the decades. You’ll hear an emphasis on Canadian performers and compositions (Michael BublĂ©, Diana Krall) but also favourites like Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, and more.

CBC Classical: CBC Classical will play music from across the centuries includuding pieces by classical composers and performed by the best Canadian and international orchestras, chamber ensembles and soloists.

CBC Canadian Songwriters: Pretty much what it says. Artists heard will include Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Alex Cuba, Feist, Basia Bulat, Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy, and Greg Keilor.

CBC Canadian Composers: The entire range of music composed by some of Canada’s most reknowned composers and performed by our premiere ensembles. Think John Weinzweig and Christos Hatzis."
So whatever you are into, CBC will have you covered.
