The CBC's FM network was launched in 1946, but was strictly a simulcast of the AM radio network until 1960. In that year, distinct programming on the FM network was launched for the first time. This was briefly discontinued in 1962, but resumed again in 1964.

In 1975, the FM network was rebranded CBC Stereo, while the AM network was known as CBC Radio.

However, in the 1990s many of the old AM stations moved to FM as well, so in 1997 the CBC rebranded the networks as the current CBC Radio One and CBC Radio Two. Radio Two has a more consistent national schedule than Radio One, with only one hour each week devoted to distinct regional programming.
