Chronology
Followed by The Agenda

Studio 2 was a popular TV show in Canada. It was shown on TVOntario every weekday evening. The show talked about important news and topics happening in the world, especially in Ontario. It was like a news magazine, but instead of just reading headlines, it explored topics deeply.

The show started in 1994. It was hosted by Steve Paikin and Paula Todd. Studio 2 won several awards called Gemini Awards for being a great show.

What Was Studio 2 About?

Studio 2 was different from regular newscasts. Instead of just giving quick updates, it focused on a few important stories. These stories often affected many Canadians, especially those in Ontario.

Exploring Important Topics

The show covered many different subjects. Some common topics included:

  • Healthcare: How people get medical help.
  • Politics: What governments were doing, both in Canada and in Ontario.
  • Terrorism: Understanding global security issues.
  • World affairs: How Canada interacted with other countries.
  • The environment: Protecting our planet.
  • The arts: Exploring music, movies, and other creative works.

Deep Discussions and Interviews

Studio 2 often had deep discussions. Experts would talk about the issues. Sometimes, people directly involved in a story would be interviewed. The show also featured short documentaries about current events and the arts. Sometimes, there were even live performances.

How Did Studio 2 End?

TVOntario announced that Studio 2 would finish on June 29, 2006. The very last episode was shown on June 30, 2006.

The Next Chapter: The Agenda

After Studio 2 ended, a new show took its place. This new show was called The Agenda. It was also hosted by Steve Paikin. The Agenda continued to explore important topics, just like Studio 2 did.
