announced in 1992 that it was folding The National and The Journal into the new Prime Time News, on the grounds that the new program's title was too similar to Prime Time. Cancellation The program's cancellation was announced in January 1993, airing its final show on June 4. Pevere publicly criticized the decision, angering CBC management; for the remainder of the show's run, Pevere was forced to tape the program in advance so that producers could monitor the program to ensure that he did not speak about the cancellation on the air. Following its cancellation, Pevere noted in an interview with The Globe and Mail that this ban was so strict that he was not even allowed to thank regular contributors for their time with the program when they made their final appearances. It was replaced by a nightly repeat of feature segments from Morningside, while its pop culture mandate was taken over by the new weekend program Brand X.
