CBC News: Sunday
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CBC News: Sunday is a weekly television newsmagazine series in Canada, which airs on Sunday mornings on both CBC Newsworld and the CBC's main network. The program first went on the air in February, 2002, offering exclusive and headline news, behind-the-scenes reports, in-depth interviews with world leaders and newsmakers such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ralph Nader, Kofi Annan and the Dalai Lama.
The program, hosted by Evan Solomon and Carole MacNeil, focuses on ethics, spirituality and media accountability. It covers current news stories, but also examines how these stories are covered by the media.
The show was started by executive producer Stuart Coxe. The current executive producer is Patsy Pehleman.
The show has won more than 40 national and international awards and nominations: "Deadline Iraq: Uncensored Stories of the War," a gripping documentary about what the public doesn't see from the front in Iraq, won the Red Cross Prize at the Monte Carlo TV Festival; “Beyond Words: Photographers of War” won Best Short Feature, National at the 2005 Gabriel Awards, as well as a Bronze Medal at the 2005 Columbus International Film & Video Festival, and a 2005 Gemini Award Nomination for Best Magazine Segment, while Evan Solomon won the 2005 Gemini for Best Host Interviewer.
CBC News: Sunday's sister evening prime-time program CBC News: Sunday Night, also hosted by Solomon and MacNeil, features the latest breaking news from around the world, coupled with a selection of investigative reports, newsmaker interviews and fly-on-the wall features.
