 CBC used the Anik satellites to distribute the proceedings to Canadian cable companies.For most of the network's history, John Warren hosted a preview monologue before the beginning of daily proceedings and provided a short summary afterward.In 1989, the CBC and a consortium of cable television providers made a joint proposal for the creation of a new entity, the Canadian Parliamentary Channel (CPaC) that would carry the proceedings of the House of Commons and committees, along with proceedings of royal commissions, enquiries, court hearings and provincial legislatures, and public affairs programming.
