The show was created by Krista Mäeots who served as its executive producer until her death in 1978.
But the program was most associated with legendary Canadian broadcaster Peter Gzowski, who assumed the host's chair in 1982.
Shelagh Rogers and Stuart McLean were frequent guest hosts in later years.
Among the regular contributors was producer and comedian Stuart McLean, who also had a summer time segment on the show called The Vinyl Cafe, which eventually was spun-off to become a regular separate program on CBC Radio for decades.
Gzowski hosted the last episode of Morningside from the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa Resort in Moose Jaw.
