About Marketplace
Whether it is a slick scam or maddening customer service, CBC News: Marketplace weeds out wrongdoing against consumers, and puts pressure on people in power to set things right.
Hosts Wendy Mesley and Erica Johnson have a proven track record of digging up the truth and bringing fairness and change. Every programme puts the consumer experience to the test with the help of hidden cameras, insider secrets and the rigorous research of the Marketplace team. Our stories take weeks and sometimes months to produce. Final stories often stir companies to change their policies and products.
In its 35 years on television, Marketplace has often shocked viewers with its innovative tests and investigations, revealing the real deal on everything from mortgage fraud to unclean coffee chains. Highlights include stories on hospital hygiene, counterfeit consumer products, household cleaning products, stolen cars, exploding pop bottles, and Chasing The Cancer Answer, Wendy Mesley's investigation into cancer rates.
