The National with Peter Mansbridge

About the Show

  • TV
  • ONLINE

THE NATIONAL is Canada's destination for original journalism and stories with added depth and context from CBC News bureaus across the country and around the world.

The nightly news program is led by CBC News Chief Correspondent Peter Mansbridge and a team of award-winning journalists, including: Sunday host Wendy Mesley, Ian Hanomansing, Adrienne Arsenault, Nahlah Ayed, Paul Hunter and Neil Macdonald, as well as specialty reporters such as senior investigative correspondent Diana Swain and senior business correspondent Amanda Lang. THE NATIONAL delivers exclusive interviews and stories that define the news program and separate it from the rest, bringing Canadians the real story where and when they want it.

THE NATIONAL is where Canadians come for intelligent conversation, commentary and analysis. At Issue, Canada's most-watched political panel, continues with Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Bruce Anderson. The Insiders - Kathleen Monk, David Herle and Jaime Watt - explain how strategies are devised and decisions are made in the political back rooms, and The Bottom Line Panel - Preet Banerjee, Patricia Croft, Jim Stanford and Amanda Lang - takes an expert look at the economy. Rex Murphy, of course, also provides his Point of View.

The National is available at different times and in different ways. In addition to a dynamic program website, The National has customizable on-demand and mobile versions available by 6 p.m. ET. Canadians can also catch THE NATIONAL on CBC News Express in airports across the country, and on Air Canada Inflight.

With more ways to get The NationaL, there are more ways to keep well informed.
