Undercurrents

Overview

Undercurrents was a Canadian television newsmagazine series in the 1990s, hosted by Wendy Mesley. The series, which first aired in 1994, primarily concentrated on investigative and documentary reports about media and technology, such as examining media coverage of controversial issues. Mesley won two Gemini Awards for her work on Undercurrents, in 1999 and 2001. In 2001, Undercurrents was folded into the new series CBC News: Disclosure, cohosted by Mesley and Diana Swain. The new show did not continue to discuss the media or technology, much to the disappointment of loyal Undercurrents viewers.
