Radio-Canada contributed to the dissemination of classical music. The show "L'Heure symphonique" was broadcast starting in 1938. From 1941 to 1956, "Radio-Collège" aired broadcasts on the history of music with the collaboration of different composers, including Jean Vallerand, Lionel Daunais and Claude Champagne. Radio-Canada International produced albums of Canadian music (work by Claude Champagne, Clermont Pépin, Maurice Blackburn, Pierre Mercure); several famous Canadian performers recorded on this label, including Glenn Gould, Pierrette Alarie, Léopold Simoneau and Maureen Forrester. The radio contest "Nos futures étoiles" introduced a number of new voices to the listening audience.
