The World at Six
The World at Six is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's flagship dinner-hour radio newscast, airing Monday to Friday from 6 to 6:30 p.m. local time on CBC Radio One. The half-hour program was launched in 1966.[1]
On Saturdays and Sundays, the show airs with the title The World This Weekend. In the Maritime Provinces, The World This Weekend airs at 7 p.m. rather than 6, as the final hour of the live Cross Country Checkup occupies the 6 to 7 p.m. time slot on Sundays in the Atlantic Time Zone. In the rest of Canada, however, The World This Weekend airs at 6 p.m. local time.
Formerly simulcast on both CBC Radio One and CBC Radio 2, the program only airs on Radio One as of March 2007.
Anchors
The program's weekday anchor is Susan Bonner, as of September 2, 2014.[2] The weekend edition is currently anchored by Martina Fitzgerald.
Other past anchors and reporters associated with the program included Alison Smith, Joan Donaldson, Maureen Brosnahan, Lorna Jackson, Barbara Smith, Russ Germain, Alannah Campbell, Bob Oxley, Bernie McNamee and Dave Seglins.
