Home · Programs · Sunday Morning Magazine

In 1961, one of the CBC's first in-depth news shows hit the air. Beginning as a 30-minute report on the week's headlines, by 1971 Sunday Morning Magazine was CBC Radio's most popular show. A pioneer in hard-hitting broadcast journalism, it scooped the world by reporting the Russian-U.S. deal over missile bases in Cuba and Turkey in 1962, waking up President Kennedy to tell him the news. As tape recorders became de rigueur for CBC reporters, producer Angus McLellan took the 9 a.m. show to an hour in 1968. Hosted by Jim Chorley and Bruce Rogers, the show changed to Sunday Magazine in 1969.
