Following the cancellations of Close-Up, Sunday and This Hour Has Seven Days, this new journalistic program occupied the traditional Sunday night current affairs time slot on CBC.
The set included three screens which displayed images projected from behind.
Jan Tennant was a script assistant who later became one of the network's announcers. Story editors included Barbara Amiel and Tim Kotcheff.
The program often featured long-form documentaries. "Mr. Pearson", a profile of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, was originally completed in the mid-1960s. It was not broadcast until this program, after director Richard Ballentine made minor edits, added some narration and adjusted the audio mix. Douglas Leiterman (This Hour Has Seven Days) produced "Fasten Your Seatbelts: A Report on Airline Safety" as a co-production with the US Public Broadcasting Service. Donald Shebib produced films such as "San Francisco Summer 1967" and "Good Times Bad Times" for the program. Beryl Fox's documentary "Vietnam, Last Reflections on a War" was also featured.
The Way It Is was cancelled in 1969 by Knowlton Nash when he became chief of the CBC's news and public affairs.
