Living is a group of regional Canadianlifestyle television programs that aired onCBC Television stations. The initial broadcast was on January 15, 2007. Due to budgetary issues, theLiving programs were not continued past the end of the 2008–09 television season.[1] The final episodes of eachLiving series aired on August 28, 2009.
Most of the CBC stations which airedLiving produced their own locally oriented programs. Most used the title formatLiving (Location), although the shows inToronto andOttawa were titledLivingin (Location) due to similarly named programs onRogers TV in those markets.
Similar to the 1970s U.S. syndicated seriesPM Magazine, each localLiving program consists of a mixture of locally produced segments and others produced for national broadcast.
In most markets, the series aired at 3:00 p.m. local time weekdays. Repeats of the Newfoundland and Labrador edition, which initially aired at 3:30 NT, later aired Tuesday to Friday at 7:00 p.m. NT onCBNT, to fill a half-hour gap in the national schedule caused by the local newscast airing at 6:00 p.m. NT.
Segments from theLiving programs were later repurposed for a national series titledBreeze, hosted by Maureen Welch in Ottawa. That program aired during the 2010–11 season as part of the Saturday daytime schedule on CBC.
