RealTime was a Canadian radio show, which aired Saturday evenings on CBC Stereo from 1994 to 1997.
[1] Hosted by Leora Kornfeld,[2] the series was a pop-culture magazine and interview show, and served as the CBC's first major foray into Internet broadcasting by integrating Internet technologies such as e-mail, IRC and audio streaming into its program format.
[4] The program's main feature segments were scheduled to air during the time block when it was airing simultaneously across the entire country,[1] with the regionalized blocks devoted primarily to music and interactive listener chat.
[8] On at least one occasion, the program staff received advance feedback about the show before it aired, when an Internet user found the planned program logs for the upcoming episode and e-mailed the show to request that they not play a song he hated.
In the fall, Kornfeld and David Wisdom, formerly the host of Night Lines, debuted as cohosts of the new series RadioSonic,[11] which itself later evolved into today's CBC Radio 3.
