Midday (commonly referred to as The Midday Show) is an Australian award winning television show, that aired on the Nine Network on 11 February 1985 until 27 November 1998. The show aired, like its title suggests, at noon, on a weekday schedule, and was a 90-minute variety programme with international and local guests. It featured interviews, musical performances and comedy spots. The format of the show was similar to that of its predecessor, The Mike Walsh Show, of which it replaced in the lunch time slot.
Midday refers to the hour of 12:00 at the middle of the day, also known as noon, or to the time around noon usually referring to between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

A Midday is a painting by Evgenia Antipova (1917-2009), well-known Russian painter and graphic artist, a member of the Saint Petersburg Union of Artists (before 1992 the Leningrad branch of Union of Artists of Russian Federation), who lived and worked in Saint Petersburg (former Leningrad), regarded as one of the representatives of the Leningrad School of Painting most famous for her landscape and still life painting.
Midday was a television newsmagazine series on CBC Television, which ran from January 7, 1985 to June 30, 2000, replacing local noon-hour newscasts on CBC stations. The show, which aired from noon to 1 p.m. on weekday afternoons, presented a mix of news, lifestyle and entertainment features.
Its original hosts were Bill Cameron, Keith Morrison and Valerie Pringle; Pringle hosted consistently while Cameron and Morrison alternated as her co-anchor, as both were also contributors to the CBC's nightly news program The Journal. Dave Hodge was also auditioned as a potential host of the program.
The show would open with a 10-minute CBC News summary, usually read by Sheldon Turcott in the news studio, and then move to another studio — the same studio, in fact, that was used for The Journal — for the main segment of the program. Following the launch of CBC Newsworld in 1989, the news summary became a simulcast of that network's hourly news update that was live for each time zone.
The original producer was Michael Harris and the series was directed for its first four seasons by Sidney M. Cohen, who later became executive producer of Canada AM for CTV. Initial ratings were not strong, with the program attracting only slightly more viewers across all of Canada than CIII-TV's local noon-hour newscast was attracting in the Toronto market alone, although the program was a strong performer in the ratings by 1986.
After several months with the program, Morrison transferred to the CBC's bureau in Ottawa, while Cameron was not interested in taking over as a permanent host of the program due to his duties with The Journal, and Peter Downie was hired as Pringle's new cohost; Pringle took a maternity leave in 1986, with Sue Prestedge filling in as substitute anchor for several weeks.
Downie left in June 1989 to become host of Man Alive, and was replaced by Ralph Benmergui, who was selected over Whit Fraser and Stuart McLean.
Benmergui left the show in May 1992 to become host of Friday Night! with Ralph Benmergui, and was succeeded by Kevin Newman in the fall. Newman cohosted with Pringle for only a few weeks before she left the show in December of the same year to succeed Pamela Wallin as cohost of CTV's Canada AM, just a few weeks after Wallin was hired by the CBC to become coanchor of Prime Time News, and was replaced by Tina Srebotnjak, previously the show's entertainment reporter and a sometime substitute anchor.
Newman left in November 1994 to join ABC News in the United States, and was replaced by Brent Bambury, formerly the host of CBC Stereo's Brave New Waves, in March 1995. Bambury and Srebotnjak remained the hosts of the show until its cancellation in 2000.
Other notable personalities associated with the show included Pete Luckett, a grocer from Nova Scotia who presented food segments, and Antonia Zerbisias, who appeared as an entertainment commentator and reviewer.
The final program, which aired on June 30, 2000, featured a live studio audience and appearances by all of the program's former hosts. Comedy musical group The Arrogant Worms performed a tribute song written especially for the program, based around the theme that "without Midday telling them it was time for lunch, they'd starve".
