Sunday Edition (TV series)
Encyclopedia
Sunday Edition was a Canadian
television public affairs
program which aired from 1988 to 1999. The program was hosted by Mike Duffy and originated at CJOH-TV
in Ottawa. Over the course of its run, it aired in several different time slots from late Sunday morning to early Sunday afternoons. Its format was similar to that of U.S. Sunday morning talk shows.
The program was not originally part of the CTV
network schedule, but rather a program co-operatively produced by several CTV affiliates. Sunday Edition later became part of the Baton Broadcast System
schedule, and only officially became a CTV program in late 1997 (or early 1998) after Baton Broadcasting's acquisition of the network.
