This Morning was a Canadian radio program which aired from 1997 to 2002 on CBC Radio One. It was not always successful with CBC audiences, and underwent several format and hosting changes during its lifetime.
The program was devised as a replacement for Morningside following Peter Gzowski's retirement from the network. It aired weekday and Sunday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon, also replacing Ian Brown's Sunday Morning. The program was hosted in its first year by Michael Enright and Avril Benoit. Enright became the show's sole host in 1998, and Benoit moved on to CBC Radio's local afternoon program in Toronto, Here and Now.
In 2000, the CBC discontinued the six-day format. The Sunday broadcast once again became a separate program hosted by Enright, Sunday Edition, and Shelagh Rogers became the weekday host of This Morning.
In 2002, the CBC determined that This Morning's mix of news and human interest stories was not successfully attracting listeners. The program was cancelled and split into two new morning programs, The Current for hard news and Sounds Like Canada for human interest and documentary features. Anna Maria Tremonti became host of The Current; Rogers remained as host of Sounds Like Canada.
[edit] Note
CBC Radio carried a daily morning radio program under the This Morning name during 1976, shortly before the debut of Morningside.
