Canada Live is a Canadian radio program, which debuted on March 19, 2007 on CBC Radio 2, which airs concert performances in a variety of musical genres from locations across Canada. The program airs weekdays on Radio 2; one episode per week is repeated on CBC Radio One on Friday afternoons.
The program was originally hosted by Matt Galloway on weekdays and Patti Schmidt on weekends. However, their main role on most occasions was to introduce a local CBC personality in the region from which the concert was broadcast, who then hosted the remainder of the evening. From fall 2007 to fall 2009, the program only used the regional hosts.
Following budget cuts (which also resulted in the program being shortened from two hours each night to one) there is now a single host, Andrew Craig, as of fall 2009.
On April 7 and December 6, 2007, the program broadcast the final concert by Canadian indie rock band Rheostatics, recorded on March 30. On April 7, 2008, the program aired a tribute concert to Oliver Schroer, who died of leukemia later that year.
