Sunday was hosted by journalists Robert Hoyt, Larry Zolf, and Peter Reilly, accompanied by musicians Leonard Cohen and Ian Tyson.
Hoyt and Zolf were previously with This Hour Has Seven Days while Reilly returned to the CBC after dissatisfaction with the private network CTV where he helped establish W5.
Musical guests included Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Phil Ochs, Otis Redding, The Staple Singers and the Metropolitan Toronto Police Choir.
[1] Senator Grattan O'Leary objected to the high cost of what he considered a "third-rate program" as Sunday's production consumed approximately $50,000 per episode.
Prior to O'Leary's comments, CBC president Alphonse Ouimet stood before the Senate's finance committee to defend the series.
