Sunday Morning was a Canadian radio news and information program, which aired on CBC Radio One from 1976 to 1997.[1]

Created by producer Mark Starowicz as a "Sunday New York Times of the air",[2] the magazine style program was one of the highest-budget and highest-rated shows on CBC Radio during its run.[1] Although the program's centrepiece was radio documentaries,[3] the show also featured interviews, round table discussions, book reviews, arts reports, puzzles and various features designed to resemble an audio version of a high-end newspaper.[1]
