This Week on The Hour (April 30th - May 3rd)

CBC-TV's THE HOUR Upcoming Guests*: April 30th - May 3rd

Some shows this week may be preempted by the Stanley Cup Playoffs on CBC and as such an encore presentation may be played on CBC Newsworld. I will update this listing as I get the information.

Monday, April 30th

Ishmael Beah (author & former child soldier)

Peter Krause (American actor)

Tuesday, May 1st

A hockey night - repeat with Martin Short and others.

Wednesday, May 2nd

Dave Thomas (Canadian actor & comedian)

Hamida Ghafour (Canadian journalist & writer)

Thursday, May 3rd

Pre-emption due to hockey.

Note: The website says the Lily Allen interview will air on Friday. This interview has not aired as part of normal programming as far as I know - and I have been aware that it has been coming due to the barrage of promotion it has been given (and because I like her music and was looking forward to it). So it is interesting that they are choosing to air it on Friday - typically a 'best of the week' show. I think it might have to do with her being popular yet canceling her tour.

*Guests subject to change / Information found on the CBC.ca Program Guide and/or the official site.

THE HOUR broadcasts Monday through Thursday on CBC Television at 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. ET on CBC Newsworld. There is a "Best of the Week" show on Fridays as well.
