Earl Cameron (June 12, 1915 – January 13, 2005) was a Canadian broadcaster and was anchor of CBC's The National from 1959 to 1966.
Cameron was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in 1915,[1] and, as a student, found a summer job at a local radio station, CHAB.
During this period CBC followed the example of the BBC in giving responsibility for reading the news to announcers rather than to journalists, an approach that became entrenched by union regulations.
Cameron was replaced by broadcast journalist Stanley Burke, although he continued as an announcer on CBC radio and television until his retirement in 1976.
One of his duties was as the host of Viewpoint, a nightly five-minute programme which followed The National in which Cameron read letters from viewers.
