CBC originally broadcast the Canadian television series Dragons' Den.
The Canadian adaptation launched in 2006 on CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It brought the investment-pitch format to Canadian entrepreneurs, who presented companies and products to a panel of investors in exchange for proposed ownership stakes.
CBC is Canada's national public broadcaster and operates television, radio, and digital services in English and French. Its association with Dragons' Den distinguishes the Canadian programme from other adaptations that aired on commercial networks in their home countries.
Network details are easy to confuse because the format has travelled widely and because Canadian television has several major broadcasters. The programme's original Canadian home was CBC; that fact refers to the series' launch broadcaster, not necessarily every later platform or repeat outlet.
