{{italic title}} '''''Living''''' is a group of regional Canadian lifestyle television programs that aired on CBC Television stations. The initial broadcast was on January 15, 2007. Due to budgetary issues, the ''Living'' programs were not continued past the end of the 2008–09 television season.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/cbc-cuts-hit-news-drama-sports-radio-1.775364 |title=CBC cuts hit news, drama, sports, radio |website=CBC.ca |date=March 26, 2009}}</ref> The final episodes of each ''Living'' series aired on August 28, 2009.
Most of the CBC stations which aired ''Living'' produced their own locally oriented programs. Most used the title format ''Living (Location)'', although the shows in Toronto and Ottawa were titled ''Living '''in''' (Location)'' due to similarly named programs on Rogers TV in those markets.
==Overview== Similar to the 1970s U.S. syndicated series ''PM Magazine'', each local ''Living'' program consists of a mixture of locally produced segments and others produced for national broadcast.
In most markets, the series aired at 3:00 p.m. local time weekdays. Repeats of the Newfoundland and Labrador edition, which initially aired at 3:30 NT, later aired Tuesday to Friday at 7:00 p.m. NT on CBNT, to fill a half-hour gap in the national schedule caused by the local newscast airing at 6:00 p.m. NT.
Segments from the ''Living'' programs were later repurposed for a national series titled ''Breeze'', hosted by Maureen Welch in Ottawa. That program aired during the 2010–11 season as part of the Saturday daytime schedule on CBC.
