Sounds Like Canada

Sounds Like Canada

"Sounds Like Canada" was a Canadian radio program, which aired weekday mornings on CBC Radio One from 2002 to 2008. Until the end of May 2008, the program was hosted by Shelagh Rogers, and then was hosted by a rotating series of guest hosts. The program was broadcast from Vancouver, and aired programming which covers cultural and human interest stories relevant to Canadians. Jian Ghomeshi, Jim Brown, Rick Cluff, Kevin Sylvester and Bill Richardson also acted as guest hosts.

The show first aired in 2002, when Radio One split its former morning program, "This Morning", into two new programs: "The Current" took over the news and current affairs portion of "This Morning"'s programming, and "Sounds Like Canada" took over the cultural and human interest areas.

Content on the program included interviews with artists, musicians, writers, comedians or filmmakers, concert performances, comedy segments, human interest features, and panel discussions on cultural topics such as literature, cuisine, wine or sports.

"Sounds Like Canada" aired from 10:00 to 11:30 weekday mornings, and was followed by a half-hour information or radio drama series.

On all weekdays except Mondays, one feature from "Sounds Like Canada" was repeated in the evenings on "Nighttime Review". During the summer, the program broadcast with guest hosts as "Sounds Like Canada in the Summer", and featured a mix of new and repeated features.

Following Rogers' announcement in the spring of 2008 that she will retire from the program, the show ended its six-year run in Septembef 2008.
