Take 30 (also expressed as Take Thirty) was a

newsmagazine series, which aired on CBC Television from 1962 to 1984 for 2,500 episodes. An afternoon series originally designed as a "women's show", the series gradually evolved into a showcase for serious journalism, airing documentary reports and interviews on social and cultural topics.^[1]

Despite the title, the series at times aired in a 35-minute timeslot, as was the case in late 1965.[2]

The program's original hosts were

This is the Law

during this time.

Clarkson left the show in 1975 to become a host of

The Fifth Estate, and was replaced by Mary Lou Finlay. Finlay left in 1977, and was replaced by Hana Gartner; Soles left the following year and was replaced by Harry Brown. Gartner left in 1982 and was replaced in the show's final season by Nadine Berger.^[1]

Other contributors to the show included Jehane Benoît, Charles Lynch, Rita Deverell, Brigitte Berman and Moses Znaimer.^[3]

In some years, the CBC summer schedule repeated episodes from the past season, supplemented by shows produced in cities outside Toronto, titled in the 30 From ... format, such as 30 From Vancouver.
