All Points West (radio program)

All Points West is a Canadian radio program. Produced from the studios of CBCV-FM in Victoria, British Columbia, the program airs on that station and its rebroadcasters on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

All Points is CBC Radio One's local afternoon program for Vancouver Island.[1] It formerly served as the provincewide afternoon program for all of British Columbia apart from Metro Vancouver, until CBTK-FM's Radio West replaced it in most of the province in fall 2011.

The program was hosted by Jo-Ann Roberts for twenty years.[2] In 2015, Roberts retired in order to campaign against funding cuts to the CBC and pursue a political career.[3][4] In January 2015, Robyn Burns took over as host of the program.[5] Jason D'Souza has been hosting the program while Burns is on maternity leave.
