@ika6667 i ment i used to listen to this show as it happens in the 70's 80's in northen ontario...not this show in particular ....just the show in general haha
As a teenager in Scotland in the mid-1980's I was interested in shortwave radio and I used to listen regularly to the World ar Six and As It Happens over Radio Canada International. They were broadcast live and used to start at 10 or 11pm over here! I well remember the voice of Alan Maitland. Thanks for posting this. it's certainly brought back memories.
I'm a Challenger buff, yet had never heard this bit before. Thank so much you for putting this media up, even though it's not a "video" per se. I appreciate the realistic SW sound too. I remember that day very clearly, I was 24 years old. It truly was like the JFK assasination for my generation. Great analysis in this story. Thanks again. Bless them.
@klawyaillahee, thank you. This was recorded off a shortwave radio so it is genuine. I initially was going to post pictures of the challenger, etc. but thought was better.

@2braindamage That's weird, because this aired in the late 80's....

As It Happens still uses this music. Shortly after this Dennis Trudeau became anchor for CBC 6 Montreal.
