They are the same public broadcaster: CBC is its English service (CBC Radio One for news and talk, CBC Music for music) and Radio-Canada its French service (ICI Première and ICI Musique). Each city has its own local station, listed here with its frequency.
How much data does streaming radio use?
A typical 128 kbps radio stream uses about 55–60 MB per hour; lower-bitrate AAC streams use around 30 MB per hour. On Wi-Fi it costs nothing extra.
