Venture (TV series)

:"For other uses of the term "Venture", click on the disambiguation page.""Venture" is a weekly Canadian business television series that aired on CBC Television from 1985 to 2007. The show focused mostly on business documentaries, but also aired business-related news pieces. In the beginning, "Venture" was hosted by Patrick Watson, who previously hosted the controversial but wildly popular Sunday evening news program "This Hour has Seven Days" in the 1960s.

More recently, the program was hosted by Robert Scully. Its most recent host was Dianne Buckner.

One of "Venture"'s more recent special features are documentary pieces called "Back to the Floor", in which a chief executive officer is forced to work at an entry-level job within their own company for a day.

CBC announced the cancellation of "Venture" on 4 April 2007. Episodes will be broadcast on Sundays until 2 September 2007.
