"Street Cents," a teen-centered newsmagazine aired on CBC Television from 1989 to 2006, stood out for its focus on consumer and media awareness for young viewers. Created by producer John Nowlan and inspired by Britain's "Pocket Money," the series garnered critical acclaim, winning Gemini Awards and an International Emmy for Best Youth Programming. Ad-free like CBC's Marketplace, it prioritized unbiased critique of products and services, promoting safety, ethics, and youth empowerment. Despite its lauded inclusivity, the show ended in October 2006 due to declining teen viewership, leaving CBC-TV without youth-targeted programming.

Kieskeurig was een consumentenprogramma van de TROS, dat werd uitgezonden van medio jaren 70 tot medio 1993. Het was naast Koning Klant het tweede consumentenprogramma op de Nederlandse televisie. Het programma werd aanvankelijk gepresenteerd door Mireille Bekooij en Hein van Nievelt. Na de overstap van Wim Bosboom van de VARA naar de TROS nam deze de plaats in van Hein van Nievelt en werd de laatste invalpresentator. Het programma was behulpzaam bij consumenten met klachten of problemen op consumentengebied. Ook vonden er testen plaats. Een bekende rubriek was 'Het wrak van de weg' waarbij een consument centraal stond die een auto had gekocht die niet voldeed. Het item eindigde dan bijna altijd met het wrak dat door een snijbrander tot schroot werd verwerkt met daarbij de woorden 'Die zien we nooit meer terug'. In 1993 werd het programma voor het laatst uitgezonden en later opgevolgd door het nog steeds bestaande consumentenprogramma TROS Radar.

60 Minutes, an Australian version of the U.S. television newsmagazine 60 Minutes, airs on Sunday nights on the Nine Network and is presented in much the same way as the American program on which it is based. The New Zealand version of the show has also featured segments of the Australian version. Gerald Stone, the founding executive producer, was given the job by Kerry Packer and was told: "I don't give a f... what it takes. Just do it and get it right." After the first episode was broadcast on 11 February 1979, Packer was less than impressed, telling Stone: "You've blown it, son. You better fix it fast." Over the years, Stone's award winning 60 Minutes revolutionised Australian current affairs reporting and enhanced the careers of Ray Martin, Ian Leslie, George Negus, and later Jana Wendt. Since it was first broadcast, 60 Minutes has won five Silver Logies, one Special Achievement Logie, and received nominations for a further six Logie awards.
