Canada Live (1992 radio program)
Canada Live was a weekend show which aired on CBC Radio in 1992 and 1993; hosted by Jack Farr as a replacement for The Radio Show,[1] the program was a live call-in show whose concept was for Farr to talk to ordinary Canadians about everyday topics.[2]
Farr lasted just a few weeks as host of the program before announcing his departure,[3] calling it "not a good fit",[2] and was succeeded by Kris Purdy.[3]
The program was cancelled in 1993, and was replaced by Brand X.[4]
