WDET hosting live, international call-in special with CBC Radio, NPR this Sunday
Jeremy Hobson, host of “The Middle” and Ian Hanomansing, co-host of CBC’s “The National” and host of “Cross Country Checkup,” will both be at WDET Studios for the live interactive broadcast.
America Votes: A Cross Border Conversation is an international co-production between CBC, WDET in Detroit, and The Middle with Jeremy Hobson.
WDET will pre-empt its regular programming from 4-6 p.m. this Sunday, Oct. 20, to host a special collaboration between Canada’s national broadcaster, CBC Radio, and American National Public Radio to bring a special international call-in version of CBC’s Cross Country Checkup and NPR’s The Middle.
The broadcast, titled America Votes: A Cross-Border Conversation, will air across Canada and the U.S., bringing international focus to the city of Detroit. The collaborative show will focus on the impending national election’s impact on the U.S. and Canada’s relationship; and WDET’s distinction as a cross-border broadcaster at North America’s largest trade corridor sets us up as the appropriate station to host this international conversation.
Jeremy Hobson, host of The Middle, and Ian Hanomansing, co-host of CBC’s The National and host of Cross Country Checkup, will both be present at WDET for the live interactive broadcast.
