Power & Politics is a Canadian television news program focused on national politics, which airs live daily on CBC News Network from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays.[1] The program is hosted by Rosemary Barton.
The program's original host was CBC journalist Evan Solomon. In September 2011, Barton was added as host of the program's Friday edition after Solomon was also named host of CBC Radio One's The House. Barton also served as substitute host on other days if Solomon was unavailable, and other CBC political journalists occasionally filled in as well.
After Solomon's departure from the CBC on June 9, 2015,[2] Barton served as the interim host of the show, with Terry Milewski as a back-up.[3] On January 5, 2016, the CBC officially named Barton as the permanent host of the show.[4]
