The history of [[television in Canada]] begins in [[Montreal]] and [[Toronto]], where the first television stations were started in 1952. The [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] aired its first broadcast on September 6, 1952 from Montreal's station, [[CBFT]]. The program was bilingual.<ref>{{cite web|author=Paul Cassel VE3SY |url=http://www.hammondmuseumofradio.org/dates.html |title=Some Important Dates from Canadian Broadcast History |publisher=Hammondmuseumofradio.org |date=2004-02-10 |accessdate=2011-12-16}}</ref> As mentioned by Irving, and supported by Arthur Siegel, modern media such as television and radio have become agents of denationalization because of the spillover of U.S. influence and fragmentation of media within Canada.<ref>{{cite web|author=Audley, Paul |url=http://www.sources.com/SSR/Docs/SSR11-20-AmericanInfluencePervasiveinCanadian.htm |title=American Influence Pervasive in Canadian Newspapers, Radio, TV |publisher=Sources.com |accessdate=2011-12-16}}</ref> Siegel implies that because of this, the state of television in Canada (i.e. whether it is healthy or dying) depends on the state of television in the United States.
Television was welcomed when it was first introduced into society. It brought about a change from communication which was previously limited to only audio. If one wanted to view something on a screen, one would have to visit the cinema; the television provided a way of sitting at home and having visual communication as well as entertainment.<ref name="webscopia1">{{cite web |url=http://www.webscopia.com/2011/02/is-television-dying/ |title=Is Television Dying? — Webscopia |publisher=Webscopia.com |date=2011-02-10 |accessdate=2011-12-16 |

The first Canadian periodicals were established in Nova Scotia by people from New England. The first Canadian magazine was called ''[[Nova Scotia Magazine and Comprehensive Review of Literature, Politics, and News]]''. It was edited by William Cochran and printed by John Howe. Publication began in 1789 and lasted three years. This magazine dealt mostly with affairs concerning the British public, despite its being published at a time of colonization in Canada.<ref>Desbarats, Peter. (2009). "The Special Role of Magazines in the History of Canadian Mass Media and National Development." ''Communication History in Canada''. Oxford University Press. p.169.</ref> After this first publication, most magazines over the next fifty years in Canada only lasted a few years, often only a few months. The first ever bilingual magazine, published in 1792, was entitled ''Le Magasin de Québec''; it was published by Samuel Neilson.<ref>{{cite web|author=Sonia Sarfati |author2=Sandra Martin |authorlink=Sonia Sarfati |url=http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0005028 |title=Magazines |publisher=The Canadian Encyclopedia |accessdate=2011-12-16}}</ref> Journalist and historian Michel Bibaud published ''La Bibliothèque Canadienne'' from 1825 to 1830, and John Lovell published the ''Literary Garland'' from 1838 to 1851. These were the most well-known exceptions to the rule that magazines lasted only a few years.<ref>Desbarats 2009, p.169.</ref> In the second half of the nineteenth century, the pace of magazine publishing in Canada picked up significantly. George Desbarats launched ''Canadian Illustrated News'' in 1869 and it lasted until 1883. ''Canadian Illustrated News'' was closely identified with a new emerging sense of Canadian nationalism, like other magazines of the time. Through the use of many pictures, Desbarats felt that the magazine would instill a sense of pride in readers for their Canadian name and society.<ref>Desbarats 2009, p.170</ref>
According to David Renard, "Over the next 10 years, the magazine industry will experience deep-rooted change from primarily a print-oriented business to one where digital products will represent the largest share of a smaller periodical industry. We expect digital to be the primary source of revenue for magazines past the 2016-2017 time frame."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://whattheythink.com/articles/53438-magazine-industry-2020/ |title=Print is not Dead, but Most of the Magazine Industry will be Digital in 2020 |publisher=WhatTheyThink |accessdate=2011-12-16}}</ref> He claims that although print is not dead, the magazine industry might become obsolete. Although he is referring to periodicals in the United States, similar patterns exist in Canada, since over ninety percent of the most popular periodicals sold in Canada are American. Some say that magazines are evolving rather than dying; they are adapting to new technology by creating online versions. For example, [[iPad]] versions of magazines have been created recently.<ref>{{cite web|title=Magazine Industry Not Dying, but Evolving|url=http://mmangrum.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/magazine-industry-not-dying-but-evolving/ |accessdate=April 6, 2018 |
