Re: CBC Radio 2 is changing names. Its now called CBC Music
So now there's really no reason to have a "Radio One," since there is no more Radio Two. Radio One was chosen, not like a Top 40 "we're #1!" cheerleading slogan, but to differentiate between the CBC networks.
But they're not changing that and it now makes far less sense to keep the numeric moniker.

It's the CBC. They have deep-pocket funding courtesy of the hostaged Canadian taxpayer. They don't need to make branding sense.
That said, I rather like the brand "Radio 1": it's more of a positioner than a singular entity. Think "Sportsnet One".

So, private radio's ENTIRE operating budget is ENTIRELY funded by the taxpayer? Double check your statement, Sir. 🤔

I love the way [not] this was rolled out. I mean if you renamed or re branded something, would you make a big announcement about it? I started looking around because I did not hear them saying Radio Two this morning. They did last weekend.
I started by looking on their corporate web site. I didn't find anything.
Instead I had to resort to google to get the definitive answer.
And as suggested above, why call Radio One, Radio One anymore?
