Your World Tonight

Your World Tonight, formerly known as The World at Six, is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's flagship dinner-hour radio news program, airing Monday to Friday from 6 to 6:28 p.m. local time on CBC Radio One except in Newfoundland where it begins at 6:30. The program was launched on October 31, 1966.[1][2]

On Saturdays and Sundays, the show aired 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. In Newfoundland, the program begins at 7:30 p.m. In the rest of Canada, however, The World This Weekend aired at 6 p.m. local time.

Formerly simulcast on both CBC Radio One and CBC Radio 2, the program airs only on Radio One as of March 2007. It is produced by CBC Radio's National News department.

As of January 29, 2024, the show, both weekday and weekend versions, were retitled Your World Tonight to integrate its podcast release without the original titles dating the content unnecessarily.[3]
