FLASHBACK is a series of posts highlighting the history of Radio Canada International and of the RCI Action Committee.

Our YouTube Channel has interviews with diplomats, supporters, a former RCI program director, and videos of the last RCI radio broadcasts in 2012.

The old archive website of the Committee started in the 1990s. Since it is an archive, it does not get updated, so some content is out of date. However, it is a great source of the past challenges facing RCI, some of which continue to this day. It can be found here: rciaction.org

The first broadcast of the international service was on February 25, 1945.
