Canada AM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canada AM is a Canadian breakfast television news show, which has aired on the CTV Television Network since 1972. It was created as a response to the popularity of American morning shows[citation needed] such as The Today Show, and adopted a similar format initially. Originally aired on weekdays, CTV now produces a similar but separate weekend program titled Good Morning Canada.
[edit] Anchors
The show's current anchors are Beverly Thomson and Seamus O'Regan. Jennifer Ward and Marci Ien also report for Canada AM and Jeff Hutcheson presents the weather forecast.
The show's initial co-hosts were Carole Taylor and Percy Saltzman. Subsequent hosts have included Helen Hutchinson, Pamela Wallin, Norm Perry (the show's longest-running host - 1975 to 1990), J.D. Roberts, Dan Matheson, Keith Morrison, Valerie Pringle, Rod Black and Lisa LaFlamme.
[edit] Theme music
For several years, in the 1970s and 1980s, the theme music was an instrumental version of The Moody Blues' "Ride My See-Saw", which is from their In Search of the Lost Chord album of 1968.
