  • Ear to the Ground is a Canadian music television series, which aired on CBC Television from 1992 to 1995. Focusing on a single Canadian musician or band each week, the series mixed interview segments and live performance clips in a documentary style. It was a spinoff of the network's daily series Video Hits, which had in its final years sometimes devoted special episodes to a single musician or band under the name Video Hits Presents. Although artists across all popular music genres were featured, the show was considered especially effective and important as a showcase for artists in genres, such as country or folk, which did not typically get into high rotation on MuchMusic. The first episodes of the series were hosted by Dan Gallagher, although the series evolved to a hostless format in later seasons. The series premiered on June 21, 1992, with an episode devoted to Barenaked Ladies. Other artists profiled on the series during its run included Meryn Cadell, Kashtin, Skydiggers, Lost Dakotas, The Rankin Family, Bob Wiseman, Me Mom and Morgentaler, The Lowest of the Low, , Blue Rodeo, , Tom Jackson, The Barra MacNeils, Big Rude Jake, Ashley MacIsaac, Change of Heart, hHead, Lori Yates, Moist, Susan Aglukark, Bob Snider, Patricia Conroy and Bourbon Tabernacle Choir. The series was cancelled in 1995, on the grounds that the live performance aspect of the show was now partially duplicated by the network's variety series Rita and Friends. In its place, CBC launched the new series Music Works. (en)
