Graphic was a Canadian current affairs television series which aired on CBC Television from 1956 to 1957.

Premise

Joe McCulley hosted this journalistic series with announcer Rex Loring.[1]

Initially, Graphic was promoted as a collection of "entertaining items of a real-life variety, on the premise that people are always interested in what the other fellow is doing." As the series developed, it featured interviews with notable Canadian personalities.[2]

Graphic's first season was sponsored by Ford Motor Company of Canada which hoped that the series would be titled Ford Graphic. However, the CBC rejected calls to include a sponsor name to its journalistic programmes. Ford remained a sponsor for the initial thirteen episodes.

Production

Each episode of Graphic cost approximately $20,000 and regularly featured camerawork outside CBC studios and often presented remove stories live. Peter Macfarlane produced the series with Bill Bolt as supervising producer, Donal Wilson as coordinating producer and Norman DePoe as editorial supervisor.

Scheduling

The half-hour series was broadcast Fridays at 9:00 p.m. for two seasons starting 2 March 1956 and ending 21 June 1957, with a break between June and October 1956.
