CBC News: Today
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CBC News: Today is a wide ranging show on CBC Newsworld, featuring many different hosts, broadcasting from Toronto weekdays starting at 10 a.m. Eastern time. It is also simultaneously broadcast on CBC Television from 12 to 1 p.m. in each time zone, acting as a noon hour show for that region. The show covers national and international news, rather than being tailored to the region watching on CBC Television.
The show is designed to cover the news as it happens throughout the day. Often that is done through live coverage of speeches and events, and through interviews with newsmakers and experts.
The show also has business news, hosted from the Toronto Stock Exchange by Jeannie Lee. There are also updates from the CBC News Weather Centre at five minutes to each hour.
The show has many hosts and sets throughout the day, including:
- Nancy Wilson from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern from Toronto.
- From 1 to 3 p.m. Eastern, Toronto-based Suhana Meharchand hosts.
- The final hour (4 to 5 Eastern) is hosted by Harry Forestell.
