We Asked Americans To React To Canadian Things — They Were So American
In Canada, tens of thousands sat by their radios three times a week, 1939-58, listening to 'Don Messer & His Islanders' broadcast from Charlottetown, PEI on CBC Radio. With the advent of television, Messer moved seamlessly across to the new medium, bringing his audience with him. Thousands more watched 'Don Messer's Jubilee' weekly, 1956-69, produced by CBC Television in Halifax, NS. When the program was cancelled, there was a national uproar; thirty-five years later, some people miss it still.
