Medium Rare (radio show)

Medium Rare was a Canadian radio program, which aired from 1987 to 1993. Produced by CHEZ-FM in Ottawa, the program was syndicated to several radio stations across Canada.

Hosted by CHEZ's news director, Ken Rockburn, the program was a two-hour news and public affairs magazine show which aired on Sunday evenings, including features and interviews on politics, arts, literature and culture. Rockburn also published a book of interviews from the show, Medium Rare: Jamming with Culture, in 1995.

The program was cancelled in 1993, just days after a change in CRTC regulations meant that music-based stations were no longer required to air a minimum quota of spoken word programming. Rockburn subsequently moved to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where he hosted the television interview show Rockburn and Company and CBO's afternoon program All in a Day.
