Venture is a weekly Canadian business television series that aired on the CBC from 1985 to 2007. The show focused mostly on business documentaries, but also aired business-related news pieces. In the beginning, Venture was hosted by Patrick Watson, who previously hosted the controversial but wildly popular Sunday evening news program This Hour has Seven Days in the 1960s.
More recently, the program was hosted by Robert Scully. Its current host is Dianne Buckner.
One of Venture's more recent special features are documentary pieces called Back To The Floor, in which a chief executive officer is forced to work at an entry-level job within their own company for a day.
CBC announced the cancellation of Venture on 4 April 2007. Episodes will be broadcast on Sundays until 2 September 2007.
