W5 has been cancelled.
It debuted in 1966 & was the longest-running current affairs/newsmagazine in North America & Canada's third-longest running TV show ever.
Hosts have included Sandie Rinaldo, Lloyd Robertson & Morley Safer.
It inspired other shows, including 60 Minutes.
Very disappointed to hear that Bell Media is cancelling W5. I spent 17 years with the show. It's had some great years and broken some fantastic investigations. This is what comes of the CRTC not holding Bell accountable for it's programming.
On the other side of the 🌎 so just seeing the Bell cuts 😢…
Especially gutted for my former W5 colleagues. What a loss for 🇨🇦 in investigative, deep dive work.
I hope people know this was North America’s LONGEST running current affairs/news mag show — it inspired 60 minutes!
@CTVTheDebate Watch it every night. Fun, light-hearted look at opinions in Canada. The polls were fun to follow here on X and the rotating debaters were such a great idea. It made me think. It made me laugh. Much need in today's doom and gloom world. Sorry to see you go Mike and co.
On Monday's show @katecarnegie and @mohitsmovies debated:
- Did Taylor Swift snub Celine Dion at the Grammys?
- Is letting kids play impact sports akin to child abuse?
- Do parents need to be reminded to "sittervise"?
