Northern Lights was a music program on the Radio One and Radio 2 networks of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, hosted by Andrea Ratuski of CBC Winnipeg. Airing weeknights at 11:00 p.m. or 11:30 p.m. Newfoundland on Radio One and at 4:00 a.m. or 4:40 a.m. Newfoundland on Radio Two, the program featured two hours of essentially continuous classical music recordings.
In the CBC's programming changes of 2007, Northern Lights was discontinued, and was replaced by Nightstream on Radio Two.
Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or lights:
“Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“Y’know scientists are funny. We probe and measure and dissect. Invent lights without heat, weigh a caterpillar’s eyebrow. But when it comes to really important things we’re as stupid as the caveman.... Like love. Makes the world go ‘round, but what do we know about it? Is it a fact? Is it chemistry? Electricity?”
—Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson)
