ZeD was a Canadian variety television program and website. The series premiered on CBC Television on March 18, 2002 and ran to 2006. Hosted primarily by Sharon Lewis and Ziya Tong, ZeD publicized creative works from Canada and other countries, including a substantial portion of material created by viewers and new artists. ZeD thus considered itself to be "open-source television."[1]

The website claimed thousands of users, and the series, while somewhat obscure, was nominated for several awards and influenced some US television.[2] A music album, ZeD: Live Off The Floor, was also spun off the series.
