Does anyone know if they still have a show called "As it Happens"?  It was a very good show I thought.  Hilarious at times.  A guy & a lady - I think the guy died.  I enjoyed it thru the 80s and 90s
Near Chicago, IL USA.  Drake R8, Ten-Tec RX340, JRC NRD545, Watkins Johnson HF-1000, Wellbrook loop at 28', 43m inverted vee.  Please QSL to fpeconsultant@aol.com thanks.

I couldn't find much for CFRX programming. It looks like 'As it happens' is still going strong on CBC Radio One. There have been several host since 1967.
