Coordinates: 45°31′05″N 73°33′04″W / 45.517981°N 73.551021°W Maison Radio-Canada (sometimes Maison de Radio-Canada) is a skyscraper in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, constructed in 1973 as a home for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's operations in Montreal.
Maison Radio-Canada is the broadcast headquarters for Radio-Canada, the French-language arm of the CBC, serving as the master control point for Radio-Canada's radio and television networks, including Ici Radio-Canada Première, Ici Musique, Ici Radio-Canada Télé and Ici RDI. It is also the main studio for television stations CBMT-DT and CBFT-DT and radio stations CBME-FM, CBM-FM, CBF-FM and CBFX-FM.
Maison Radio-Canada is once again the home of Radio Canada International, which had been in a building down the street. The street address of Maison Radio-Canada is 1400 René Lévesque Boulevard East, fittingly named for former premier René Lévesque, who was once a reporter and commentator for the CBC. The building is situated just a couple of blocks away from the studios of CTV Montreal (CFCF-DT), RDS, RDS Info, MétéoMédia, LCN, and CFTM-DT (TVA Montreal) situated at the intersection of Papineau Avenue.
