Morningside (radio program)

Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOR : Morningside (radio program)

Morningside was a Canadian radio program, which aired on CBC Radio from 1977 to 1997. It was the successor to This Country in the Morning, which aired from 1971 to 1977.

Although initially hosted by Don Harron, the program was most famously associated with legendary Canadian broadcaster Peter Gzowski, who assumed the host's chair in 1982. The program was a mixture of news and human interest interviews, which aired from 9 a.m. to noon each weekday. Shelagh Rogers was a frequent guest host in later years.

When Gzowski retired, Morningside and the network's Sunday public affairs show Sunday Morning were replaced by This Morning, which was hosted in its first year by Michael Enright and Avril Benoit.
