Day 6
Day 6 is a Canadian radio program hosted by Brent Bambury, which airs Saturdays on CBC Radio One.[1] The show presents a mix of the week's stories, including both news and cultural or entertainment topics, predominantly through interviews.
At the end of each episode, the program presents a "Riffed from the Headlines" segment, in which clips from three songs are spliced together as a clue to a news story from the previous week to which listeners are invited to send in guesses. This feature was retained from a similar segment in Bambury's prior series Go.
The program debuted on September 11, 2010, in the time slot formerly held by Go.[1]
On the September 26, 2026, episode of the program, Bambury announced his retirement after more than four decades with the CBC, with his final episode slated to air on October 24.[2] The network has not yet announced whether Day 6 will continue with a new host, or will end at the same time as Bambury's departure.
