CBC Radio One and Two new internet stream URLs

Update December 29, 2020: I’m not certain the CBC streams I link to in this post are still relevant. In fact, the link is dead. Also, there’s this for those of you with Grace Digital legacy radios, of which I am one:

Grace Digital Internet Radios manufactured between 2007 and 2017 will stop working

Recently, my CBC stream link stopped working in my Grace Digital radio. I went to the search function in the radio, typed in CBC plus my local station name, and it popped up. I sent it into memory and it works just fine.

The CBC in its infinite wisdom has seen to changing their stream URL addresses as of August 25, 2016. Since I listen using a Logitech Squeezebox and a Grace Digital Primo, I was fortunate to find this page, where anyone who cares can add a CBC Radio stream from the interwebs:

[ dead link, never to return ]

With the Primo, log in and go to the My Streams page. Add the stream(s) of your choice. Unplug the radio for a reset, plug it back in, and your stream will be located in My Stuff / My Streams.

I’m currently in discussions with Grace Digital/ECOXGEAR about adding the streams. It appears they may be geographically restricted, as in, if you don’t have a Canadian IP, you’re out of luck.

If that’s the case, you might try Windscribe, a Canadian VPN with a free plan. Look for a discount code online. I picked one up for Windscribe’s lifetime subscription for U$49.00. I’m so happy with Windscribe that I can heartily recommend it.

The Logitech Squeezebox appears to have already installed the new streams.

  1. I went to the search function in the radio, typed in CBC plus my local station name, and it popped up. I sent it into memory and it works just fine.

    What is the URL that’s working?

    1. I’m afraid I don’t know. I just hit the search button on the internet radio and typed in cbc. A list of stations came up, and I plugged my station into my remote. I’ve looked through the Grace database for my stations, but I can’t pull up a stream url, unfortunately.

      What radio are you using?

      1. I’ve searched online, but came up empty. Can you not use the search function on your internet radio, enter CBC + your station, and hit Enter? Do the stations not come up using the search function? What internet radio are you using?

  2. Seems the Logitech CBC app is broken… all CBC Radio 2 streams are “Temporarily Unavailable” and have been for months. Adding CBC’s own URLs to Logitech’s Favorites produces the same result.

    1. Philip, I can’t comment on the Logitech CBC app, since I don’t use it. I also don’t use Radio 2 streams. I have CBC Kitchener-Waterloo Radio One set as a favourite on my Squeezebox. I just checked it, and it’s working fine.

      Have you tried any of the streams from the CBC page I linked to, above?

    1. Primo is a Grace Digital/ECOXGEAR product. The Squeezebox is by Logitech.

      I do not use either an NAS or a RAID. I don’t stream any music, so I’m at a loss if you’re looking for assistance with that.

      My Logitech Squeezebox and the Grace Digital Primo use wireless connections.
