'''Canada AM''' is a Canadian breakfast television news show, which has aired on the CTV Television Network since 1972. It was created as a response to the popularity of American morning shows such as ''The Today Show'', and adopted a similar format initially. Originally aired on weekdays, CTV now produces a similar but separate weekend program titled ''Good Morning Canada''.

Theme music
