Zed was a revolutionary cross-platform project launched by the CBC in 2002. Besides showing the world's best short films, amazing musical performances, and some cutting edge reportage, Zed is best known for being CBC TV's flagship convergence program and a pioneer in social networking and user-generated content. All of the shows featured content uploaded to the show's bustling online community and 80% of all in-house produced content was shown online.

Starting in 2005 the show was split into an experimental three-night format. Zed Real (Tuesday) would feature real-life stories and short documentaries, Zed Candid (Wednesday) featured award-winning short film and frank discussion, and Zed Tunes (Thursday) featured the best performers from the world of indie music.
