On today’s Rewind, two segments from the series Canadian Snapshots, program that promised to (quote) "turn the lens of the radio camera to the wonders and oddities of Canada and bring the vast panorama of the country to the airwaves.”
Canadian Snapshots aired weekly on the national network in 1939 and 1940 and was full of skits, music and actuality.
Both episodes today are from February 1940 and feature the voices of Lorne Greene and J. Frank Willis.

In 1970, Pierre Juneau said that "Canadian broadcasting should be Canadian." At the time, he was the head of the CRTC- the Canadian Radio/Television Commission, and he was behind the implementation of new rules for Canadian content on radio and television. This helped spark a made- in- Canada music industry. Today, in honour of Pierre Juneau- who died in February- and the upcoming Juno awards which were named for him, we salute just a few of the many Canadian musicians who have made us proud.
