Movie Night in Canada is a film programming block that has occasionally been aired by CBC Television. The branding has been used on two occasions by the CBC as replacement programming for its Saturday-night lineup during major interruptions of the National Hockey League which prevented the regular broadcast of the block's namesake, Hockey Night in Canada.
The branding was first used during the 2004–05 NHL lockout, airing a lineup of three films per week. Hockey Night host Ron MacLean presented wraparound segments on location during the block, highlighting amateur and junior hockey teams across the country. In March 2020, following the suspension of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CBC revived the branding with a focus on Canadian films.[1]
