Announced tonight at the 2023 JUNO Opening Night Awards in Edmonton, CBC and the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) have renewed their exclusive broadcast and content partnership for an additional five years, continuing with The 53rd Annual JUNO Awards in Halifax live on CBC on Sunday, March 24, 2024.

“We’re excited and proud to renew our partnership with the dedicated and collaborative team at CARAS. With this extension, we will deepen our shared commitment to nurture and showcase the very best musical talent from across Canada, including new and emerging voices,” said Barbara Williams, Executive Vice-President, CBC. “The JUNOS demonstrate just how vital music creativity is in this country, and we’re looking forward to honouring our long-standing relationship with Canadian musicians and Canadian music fans in the coming years.”
"No one tells stories of Canadian artistry and music like the CBC,” said Allan Reid, President & CEO, CARAS/The JUNO Awards & MusiCounts. “For the past six years, our two organizations have had a common vision and shared values and we can’t wait to see where the next five years take us.”
