50-403: In 1910 drillers, who were looking for oil, discovered the hot springs that now service the hotel. The springs waters originate from an ancient sea bed 1,350 metres (4,430 ft) below the surface. The water travels under its own pressure through pipes to the spa, which is located about 400 metres (1,300 ft) away. The hotel was originally built with 69 rooms at cost of $ 9 million; funds were

100-485: A boost not just to Reading's profile, but also to its economy: a number of Canadian fans of the show made a point of visiting Reading when they are visiting the UK. During the holiday season in late November and December each year, the show also maintains a tradition of airing one or more Christmas and Hanukkah themed stories narrated by past or present announcers. Alan Maitland's reading of Frederick Forsyth 's The Shepherd

150-558: A memoir of her time with the program. The book was subtitled Radio That May Contain Nuts . A frequently-cited example of the show's sometimes whimsical sense of humour relates to references to the UK town of Reading, Berkshire . After almost any lighter news story or interview that emanates from any location in the UK , the As It Happens host will conclude the piece by straight-facedly noting how far

200-506: A mixture of private and government investment. It is named after the historic Temple Gardens Dance Hall, one block north. The hotel was later expanded to 179 rooms. On May 30, 1997, the final episode of CBC Radio 's morning show Morningside was broadcast from Temple Gardens; host Peter Gzowski was a former editor of the Moose Jaw Times-Herald . The facility's café was renamed the "Morningsides Café" in his honour. In 2006,

250-502: A monoaural FM signal. Programming consisted mostly of classical music. The stations were linked by CN/CP Telecommunications via land-line and microwave. This service was discontinued in 1962, but resumed in 1964 in stereo. Eventually, a national satellite-distributed network of stereo FM stations was established. In 1975, the FM network was called CBC Stereo, and the AM service was designated CBC Radio. In

300-437: A picture needs a thousand words" or "Hear the big picture". Until early 2015, the slogan was "Canada Lives Here." The slogan was not replaced. In the fall of 2021, CBC Radio One's weekend evening programing was reorganized. With the removal of two-hour programs, with Vinyl Tap cancelled and Saturday Night Blues relegated to CBC Music , Saturday night programming features various music programs from CBC Music. In contrast,

350-425: A program devoted to stories about college and university student life; Someone Knows Something , which presents information about criminal cold cases ; Uncover , an investigative journalism project; Missing and Murdered , which delves into stories of missing and murdered Indigenous women ; and Back Story , in which foreign correspondents talk about the news stories they have covered. Selected episodes from

400-434: A rotating basis. Typically for the noon and late afternoon time slots, national programs in the form of documentary specials are aired as well. In the summer months of July and August, some programming is temporarily shortened and/or replaced by special summer series. For Christmas Day , the majority of the programming, beginning at 8:00 PM on Christmas Eve , is replaced with predominately holiday music showcases. Stations in

450-667: A second network, the Dominion Network , was established with CJBC in Toronto as its flagship. With the exception of CJBC, all 35 stations on the CBC Dominion Network were privately owned affiliates. Its programming tended to be lighter than that of the Trans-Canada Network, carrying more American programming in its schedule. The Dominion Network operated only in the evenings, freeing affiliates to air local programming during

500-426: A separate program which airs previously broadcast interviews from the main series The show was introduced in 1968 as a reverse call-in show: rather than having the public call in, the reporters at As It Happens called newsmakers and pundits for their opinions. During the 1970s, the program produced 54-minute-long segments called "As It Happened, (insert year)", covering the major events of years past, particularly

550-505: Is "radio that reads between the Linuses," following a story about baseball stats in the Peanuts comic strip. As it happens, the show's title is also a pun. Former host Barbara Frum once interviewed Cookie Monster from Sesame Street . Another well-remembered interview was with a hard-of-hearing but imperturbable British farmer who had grown a prize-winning giant cabbage. The 1976 interview

600-428: Is CKZN, relaying CFGB-FM from Happy Valley-Goose Bay , Newfoundland and Labrador with a 1 kW ERP signal on a fixed frequency of 6.16 MHz. Former shortwave relays include CKCX , providing a relay of CBC North programming, and CKZU, relaying CBU from Vancouver . CKCX and CKZU ceased operations in 2012 and 2017, respectively. Most schedules include hourly news readings that run from 4–10 minutes on

650-640: Is a Canadian interview show that airs on CBC Radio One in Canada and various public radio stations in the United States through Public Radio Exchange . Its 50th anniversary was celebrated on-air on November 16, 2018. It has been one of the most popular and acclaimed shows on CBC Radio . The bulk of the program consists of a CBC journalist, currently Nil Köksal since 2022, conducting telephone interviews with newsmakers and other persons of interest. The other co-host, Chris Howden as of January 6, 2020, introduces

700-543: Is always played on the last show before Christmas Day, and Maitland's reading of O. Henry 's " The Gift of the Magi " remains a popular staple of the program, as do Barbara Budd's narrations of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and Aubrey Davis' Bone Button Borscht . The original opening and closing themes were "Curried Soul" and "Koff Drops" respectively, played by jazz musician Moe Koffman . The second segment of

750-702: Is now CBC Radio One and its predecessors, the Trans-Canada Network , and the original CBC Radio network. Some were affiliates of the original CBC radio network prior to 1944, several of which had previously been affiliates of the CBC's predecessor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission . Some were affiliates of the Trans-Canada Network (1944–1962) and either disaffiliated from TCN or became CBC Radio affiliates when TCN became CBC Radio in 1962. Some transferred their affiliation to CBC Radio when

800-453: Is simulcast across Canada on Bell Satellite TV satellite channels 956 and 953, and Shaw Direct satellite channel 870. A modified version of Radio One, with local content replaced by additional airings of national programming, is available on Sirius XM channel 169. It is downlinked to subscribers via SiriusXM Canada and its U.S.-based counterpart, Sirius XM Satellite Radio. In 2010, Radio One reached 4.3 million listeners each week. It

850-573: The CBC Radio Overnight programming block. The Radio One feed on Sirius XM Satellite Radio largely follows the Eastern Time schedule, and has no local programming, with repeats of other shows in time slots that would normally be occupied by local programming. As a consequence of using a single feed, most national programming outside the Eastern Time Zone is heard earlier or later than

900-578: The Dominion Network dissolved in 1962. Most affiliates disaffiliated as the CBC built new owned and operated stations, expanded coverage by other stations, or built transmitters to rebroadcast existing CBC Radio stations. Other affiliates were purchased from their owners by the CBC and are listed under CBC Radio One stations above or at List of defunct CBC radio transmitters in Canada if they are no longer operating. Stations that have disaffiliated: For former Dominion Network affiliates, see Dominion Network#Stations As It Happens As It Happens

950-507: The Internet via streaming audio at the CBC's website. Older broadcasts are available as a stream from the CBC's website, but without the music. As It Happens is heard on a delayed-broadcast basis in the United States, generally airing in a later-evening slot and often paired with Q ; American stations that carry As It Happens do not air the final half-hour (7:30 to 8:00 p.m.) of

1000-554: The 1930s and 1940s. During the CBC technicians strike in 1981, after a few weeks of music, the As It Happened segments were played each weeknight in chronological order as repeat filler material until the strike was resolved. When the interviewer is absent, other CBC journalists typically sit in as substitute interviewers; when the announcer is absent, substitutes may include other CBC personalities, actors such as R. H. Thomson , or program staffers; Howden himself sometimes appeared on

1050-485: The American NPR edit. However, in the summer months of July and August, the program is reduced to an hour in its regular time slot, which means the midnight edition airs all the content during that period. During the summer, the program ends at 7:30 and is followed by a half-hour program from the network's schedule of short-run summer series. Most summers, one of those summer series is As It Happened: The Archive Edition ,

1100-568: The CBC switched its CBC Radio One from powerful AM signals in Eastern Canadian urban centres to FM stations, it became harder to receive CBC content further away from the border. As It Happens can be heard on CBC Radio One's channel 169 on Sirius XM Satellite Radio (in both Canada and the U.S.), on an increasing number of American public radio stations, especially NPR affiliates with news radio formats, via distribution from CBC's American distribution partner Public Radio Exchange , and on

1150-542: The Canadian territories air a significantly different schedule with expanded local programming that includes a number of programs in local Indigenous languages. They air most of the core CBC Radio One schedule, although some programs may air in abbreviated versions (see CBC North for further information). The network also airs some programming syndicated from American public broadcasting services such as National Public Radio and Public Radio Exchange , including programs from

1200-661: The December 5, 2013 episode marking the death of Nelson Mandela , the show opened and closed with Ladysmith Black Mambazo 's recording of " Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika "; on the October 22, 2014 episode covering the Parliament Hill shootings , the show opened with a montage of audio clips of the day's events, entirely skipping theme music; and on the November 11, 2016 episode following the death of Canadian musical and literary icon Leonard Cohen ,

1250-693: The FM "Radio" stations broadcast in mono only. As a result, on September 1, 1997, CBC Radio became CBC Radio One and CBC Stereo became CBC Radio 2 (it is now CBC Music). Although some Radio One stations still broadcast on AM as of 2018, because of issues with urban reception of AM radio signals many of the remaining AM stations have added FM rebroadcasters in major urban centres within their broadcast area. From 2004 until early 2007, CBC Radio One promotional spots were announced by Canadian actress Shauna MacDonald , also known as "Promo Girl". Toronto-born Jeremy Harris took over from MacDonald. Until fall 2005, promos ended with one of two slogans: either "Because sometimes

1300-451: The Sirius XM feed. In these cases, as with the regional programming slots, repeats of earlier national programs are heard, as well as some CBC Music programming (such as Deep Roots ). Many CBC Radio programs are also distributed in podcast versions. In addition, the service has also created several programs which are distributed exclusively as podcasts. Original podcasts include Campus ,

1350-497: The Sunday night programming has the network's various spoken-word narrative programs concentrated from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. (Eastern). Some CBC Radio One programs, such as As It Happens , air in the United States on some stations associated with Public Radio International . Definitely Not the Opera , Quirks & Quarks , The Vinyl Cafe , and Q are heard on some public stations in

1400-407: The UK location is from Reading, frequently giving the distance in both miles and some other form of strange, non-standard measurement (e.g., 733,000 garden gnomes, lined up hat to hat). This long-standing tradition on the show dates from the mid-1970s, when English-born segment producer George Somerwill once concluded a program script with a note that a small village mentioned in the preceding segment

1450-653: The day. Until 1958, the CBC was both a broadcaster, and the principal broadcast regulator in Canada. It used this dual role to take most of Canada's clear-channel frequencies on the AM band. In 1962, the Dominion Network was dissolved and within a few years CJBC became a French-language station broadcasting the programming of Radio-Canada . In 1960, the CBC began running distinct programming on its three existing FM English-language stations, which had been providing simulcasts of programming on its AM stations. The stations, located in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, broadcast

1500-434: The early 1990s, the CBC began offering selected programs on the Internet . In September 1996, the network formally launched live audio streaming of both CBC Radio and CBC Stereo. Since the 1980s, many of the CBC's AM stations moved to FM in response to complaints of poor AM reception. This meant that the old distinction between the AM "Radio" network and the FM "Stereo" network was no longer accurate, even though many of

1550-465: The gravity of many of its stories, As It Happens is also known for being lighthearted and carrying news of the obscure and bizarre. For instance, during the early 1990s there were updates for several years on the battle over a large fibreglass fish that annoyed a neighbour in England. The show opens with humorous synopses of the day's stories, which are followed by a pun based on one of the same. An example

1600-558: The hotel was purchased by Temple REIT for $ 21 million. In 2022, Temple Hotels sold the hotel to Sparrow Hawk Developments—owned by the Peepeekisis Cree Nation , with Saskatoon-based Globex Management assuming operations. The new owners stated that there were plans for potential renovations in the future, but stated that they did not plan to change the property's name or theming. The first block of renovated rooms opened in July 2023, with

1650-529: The interviews and other segments, such as "For the Record" recordings of speeches or press conferences, and musical interludes (or as former co-host Barbara Budd often referred to them, "the dance portion of the program"). The show is broadcast each weekday from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. (half an hour later in Newfoundland ) throughout Canada. It used to be widely accessible to much of the northern United States, but as

1700-560: The late 1960s and early 1970s, CBC Radio increased its current affairs and documentary content with an initiative known as the "Radio Revolution", using more ambitious, live coverage of news and current affairs including listeners as well as experts. The change began with national shows such as As It Happens . The change spread to CBC regional morning shows which developed three hours of live radio combining "survival information", about news, weather and traffic, with interviews and documentaries about local and national issues. CBC Radio Winnipeg

1750-864: The northern United States. Some CBC-SRC programs were relayed on Radio Canada International for listeners abroad and others, such as the 2010 summer program Promised Land , have aired on Sirius Satellite Radio 169. Only stations licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission as separate broadcast undertakings are listed below. Most—though not all—of these stations produce at least one local program . Most stations also have numerous rebroadcasters in smaller communities within their service areas; rebroadcasters are listed in each primary station's article. Several shortwave radio relays of CBC Radio One once existed to provide coverage to remote areas that could not otherwise receive radio broadcasts. The only such operation still licensed

1800-419: The now defunct Public Radio International which merged with PRX in 2019, This American Life , Radiolab and the news series The World and, previously, The State We're In . With the exceptions of This American Life , which airs on Sunday nights at 11:00 p.m. and Snap Judgement which airs on Monday nights at 11:00 p.m., all other non-Canadian content airs after 1:00 a.m. as part of

1850-474: The original 1969 recording. When Socalled appeared on CBC Radio's Q as a musical guest in June 2015, Off and Douglas joined him for a live performance of the song, with Douglas playing a shaker and Off playing cowbell . On extraordinary news occasions, the show may also broadcast alternate opening and closing theme music more reflective of a major news story, or may entirely skip opening theme music. For example, on

1900-422: The podcasts may also sometimes air terrestrially on CBC Radio One as substitute programs, or rerun material for regular programs such as The Current , such as during the summer season or when a regularly scheduled program is preempted due to a statutory holiday . While all CBC Radio stations today are owned and operated by the network there previously were a number of privately owned network affiliates of what

1950-516: The process expected to be completed in 2025.

In January 2022, long-time host Carol Off announced her retirement from As It Happens , effective February 25. In July 2022, it was announced that Nil Köksal will debut as former host Off's successor in September. The show has had many notable interviews, including: The show has also interviewed a wide array of presidents, prime ministers, terrorists, inventors, and authors. Despite

2050-416: The program. In the fall of 2009, the show also added an hour long repeat airing at midnight on weeknights called As It Happens: The Midnight Edition , which features an abbreviated edition of the 6:30 p.m. broadcast. Thanks to shorter run time, many of the less important interviews and stories are cut from the midnight rerun to fit the reduced air time, so the midnight broadcast is virtually identical to

2100-538: The regional outlet on terrestrial radio - for example: The World at Six is heard on Sirius XM as early as 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time in Vancouver, and as late as 7:30 p.m. Newfoundland Time in St. John's. Programs produced by NPR and PRX are not heard on CBC Radio One's Sirius XM service, as these are covered by channels programmed by NPR and PRX. In addition, the programs featured on CBC Radio Overnight are not heard on

2150-411: The show begins with a 1987 rearrangement of "Curried Soul" by Billy Bryans . In September 2013, amidst much on-air fanfare, the decades-old "Curried Soul" opening theme was given a discreetly modernized remix by Socalled . During phone-in segments broadcast in the days following the new theme's premiere, listener reaction was mixed: some preferred the newer mix, while others stated their preference for

2200-529: The show, as well as on CBC Radio's afternoon series Rewind . After Lloyd Robertson left CBC Television for CTV in 1976, the program conducted its own on-air auditions for his replacement as anchor of The National , eventually choosing Robert Stanfield as its nominee. Barbara Budd and Mary Lou Finlay maintained a recurring debate over whether ABBA 's " Dancing Queen " was an appropriate choice of bumper music between interviews, and Budd and Carol Off later solicited listener feedback to determine

Some mid-day programs include only brief 90-second "information updates". On statutory holidays , local programming, particularly the morning shows, is replaced by special provincial programming or regional programs are broadcast province-wide on

2300-422: The world's most annoying song. On one occasion when Budd was away on a sick leave that coincided with April Fools' Day , she and Finlay arranged a prank in which Budd gave an interview explaining that she had been given a Canada Council grant to tour the world visiting all the cities whose names she had ever mispronounced on the air. Following Finlay's retirement in 2005, she published The As It Happens Files ,

2350-423: Was conducted by an increasingly frustrated Frum, who could not get the farmer to give any kind of coherent replies to her straightforward questions; by mid-interview, Frum was stuck repeatedly asking the question, "What did you feed your cabbage?" a little bit louder each time. Exasperated, she finally asks him "WHAT. DID. YOU. FEED. THE. GODDAMN. CABBAGE?". It is still occasionally played as an amusing interlude on

2400-485: Was located 'nine miles from Reading'. This note, intended as a serious clarification, was totally baffling to most Canadian listeners—and even to the rest of the show's staff. It quickly became a running joke on the show to identify all places in the UK (even major centres like London) in relation to their proximity to the comparatively obscure borough of Reading. In her 2009 book The As It Happens Files , former show host Mary Lou Finlay notes that As It Happens had given

2450-600: Was the first to embrace the format followed by Information Morning in Halifax, a move which increased audience and attracted coverage in Time magazine. CBC Radio stopped running commercials in 1974. Until 1995, the network signed off the air between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. daily (5:00 a.m. weekdays on its Toronto flagship station, CBL )– in that year, it launched an overnight program, CBC Radio Overnight , which airs international news and documentary programs.
