Math Patrol

The series starred John Kozak as "Sydney" – a "math detective" who repeatedly went undercover as a kangaroo. Other cast members included Carl Banas, Jessica Booker, Luba Goy and Nikki Tilroe. The program was designed to teach basic math skills and terminology in an entertaining fashion to children between approximately 8 and 10 years of age. In each 15-minute episode, Math Patrol's unseen boss "Mr. Big" would send the detective on a case or charge him with a task which could only be solved through mathematic deduction. Over the course of 20 episodes, Math Patrol provided introductory math lessons on topics including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, area, fractions, length, shapes, geometry and symmetry. Because of its highly educational nature, Math Patrol was often shown to groups of primary school students during class time.

CBC Prime Time News

CBC Prime Time News was a Canadian nightly newscast which aired on CBC Television from 1992 to 1995. For the previous ten years, the CBC's nightly newscast, The National, had aired at 10 p.m., and was followed by a 40-minute newsmagazine package called The Journal, which was hosted by Barbara Frum. However, following Frum's death in early 1992, the CBC took the opportunity to revamp its flagship newscast. On November 2, 1992, Prime Time News debuted with Peter Mansbridge and Pamela Wallin as equal cohosts of a package which replaced both The National and The Journal, combining news and Journal-style features into a single integrated program which aired at 9 p.m. The approach proved unpopular, both within the CBC and with network audiences. The National had been produced by the CBC's news department, while The Journal belonged to current affairs, and bringing the two departments together was fractious. As well, the on-air rapport between Wallin and Mansbridge was visibly tense at times. As well, because the program aired at 9 p.m., it was competing in one of the most heavily-watched timeslots on the commercial networks. Although The National and The Journal had faced commercial competition at 10 p.m., they had been much more successful at carving out their own niche because in that time slot, almost all of the commercial networks were airing drama series. At 9 p.m., Prime Time News had to compete with popular sitcoms such as Cheers, Frasier, Seinfeld and Murphy Brown.

CBC News: Sunday Night

CBC News: Sunday Night was a television newsmagazine series in Canada, which aired on Sunday evenings at 10 p.m. on CBC Television.

The program also aired on CBC Newsworld at 9 p.m., and is repeated at midnight and 5 a.m. the following morning. The program, hosted by Evan Solomon and Carole MacNeil, covered the week's news. It should not be confused with CBC News: Sunday, a Sunday morning newsmagazine hosted by the same team, but which had a different programming focus, although the programs frequently shared features. Sunday Night replaced Sunday Report, a long-running but more standard newscast, in fall 2004. The program ended in 2009, and was replaced with a Sunday edition of The National.
