Absolutely Canadian
Absolutely Canadian is a Canadian documentary television series. Formerly a weekday news series on CBC Newsworld, it currently airs as a weekly series on CBC Television.
Newsworld
In its CBC Newsworld era, the program aired news reports on local and regional interest stories from the CBC's local news bureaus. It was discontinued in 2009, when Newsworld was rebranded as CBC News Network and its daytime news programming was renamed CBC News Now.
CBC Television
The series was relaunched in 2014 on CBC Television as a summer documentary series, with distinct regional editions produced in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ottawa-Gatineau, Quebec, the Maritimes and Newfoundland and Labrador. Each six-episode regional series featured a mix of news and entertainment features, including documentary reports and live performances by local musicians. Beginning in October 2014, Absolutely Canadian aired nationally as a compilation of segments from the regional programs.
At the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015, country singer Kira Isabella garnered an award nomination for Best Performance in a Variety or Sketch Comedy Program or Series for her appearance on Studio 14 Sessions, the musical performance segment of Absolutely Canadian's Ottawa edition.
