Because News is a Canadian radio program, which airs weekly on CBC Radio One.[1] Hosted by comedian Gavin Crawford, the program is a panel show, on which three celebrity panelists, often but not always stand-up comedians, compete to answer questions about current news stories.[1] The program also features brief comedy interludes focused on Crawford's voice impersonations of personalities in the news.[2]

The program debuted in September 2015. Episodes are usually taped at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto, although selected episodes have been recorded in other cities.[2]
