Michael Enright (broadcaster)


Michael Enright CM (born 1943) is a Canadian radio broadcaster.

Enright is the current host of CBC Radio One's The Sunday Edition and the archive show Rewind, which airs on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 169 and also Wednesday at midnight on CBC Radio One.

Enright first joined CBC radio in 1974 as host of This Country in the Morning for one year. He was then a print journalist for Time, Maclean's, the Toronto Star and The Globe and Mail. He subsequently returned to CBC, becoming managing editor of CBC radio news in 1985, and then became cohost of As It Happens in 1987. He hosted that program with Alan Maitland until 1993, and with Barbara Budd until 1997.

In a May 10, 1997 article in The Globe and Mail, Enright referred to the Roman Catholic Church as "the greatest criminal organization outside the Mafia", causing some outcry from Catholic organizations. Enright attended St. Michael's College, a Catholic all-boys school, was lead altar boy at Holy Rosary Church and spent one year at a Passionist seminary in Dunkirk, New York.
