The Canadian television version of Dragons' Den originally aired on CBC.
Canada’s adaptation premiered in 2006 and follows the same broad format as the UK programme: entrepreneurs pitch businesses to a panel of wealthy investors, commonly called Dragons, and negotiate for financing and ownership. The Canadian show uses its own panel, presenter, production history, and business examples rather than reusing the UK cast.
CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, is Canada’s national public broadcaster. Its role in launching the series distinguishes the Canadian edition from the British programme, which was made for the BBC, and from the American adaptation Shark Tank, which was broadcast by ABC.
The broadcaster is often abbreviated to CBC in programme references. That three-letter answer is more precise than naming a television genre or an international franchise, since several networks have carried related formats in different countries.
