Press Releases

Over the course of Nightfall's run, both on the CBC and on NPR in the U.S., several press releases were issued regarding new season line-ups, particular episodes, or guest stars. We've collected several of these releases and have adapted them for this site.

Special thanks to Michele Melady, Director of the CBC Reference Library in Toronto, ON, and former NPR Playhouse executive producers Andy Trudeau and Bob Malesky at NPR in Washington D.C., for making these available to us.
