The National

This flagship 22-minute newscast debuted in 1956, just four years after CBC Television itself. In 1982, it was the first newscast to jump from the 11 p.m. to a 10 p.m. prime-time slot. Followed by a new show called The Journal, The National soon became "must-hour" viewing for over 1.5 million Canadians. But a 1993 gamble proved disastrous when Prime Time News replaced the show in a 9 p.m. timeslot. It was bumped back to 10 p.m. a year later and renamed The National in 1995. Its anchors number among the country's top journalists, including Larry Henderson, Earl Cameron, Stanley Burke, Warren Davis, Lloyd Robertson, Peter Kent, Knowlton Nash and Peter Mansbridge.

The coronation of Danny Williams

Broadcast Date: Oct. 9, 2007

It's been more a coronation than a re-election campaign for Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams, says CBC News' Rex Murphy. On Oct. 9, 2007 the Progressive Conservative leader captures a second majority term. The latest incarnation of the "fighting Newfoundlander," his iconic status was solidified with his promise of "no more giveaways" of natural resources. In this wide-ranging profile from The National, Williams beams with talk of progress on out-migration and the rural economy but keeps the heat on his Tory adversary in Ottawa.

The coronation of Danny Williams

• Danny Williams's Progressive Conservatives took a whopping 69 per cent of the popular vote and 43 of 48 seats in the assembly. It was the highest vote share since Joey Smallwood took 70 per cent to form the first post-Confederation government in the 1949 election.
• The Liberals took nearly 22 per cent of the popular vote, which translated into just two seats. Liberal leader Gerry Reid lost by just seven votes in his riding of The Isles of Notre Dame.


• NDP leader Lorraine Michael won her party's only seat when she was re-elected in Signal-Hill-Quidi Vidi. The NDP garnered just 8 per cent of the popular vote province-wide.
