RexTV is a new media enterprise dedicated to ensuring that views often excluded from the mainstream media are aired and heard. Rex's guests come from the arenas of politics, business, academia, science, and the arts. Rex Murphy is a regular columnist for The National Post, a former CBC TV commentator, and was the host of the popular CBC Radio One's "Cross Country Check Up" for 21 years. Born and raised in Newfoundland, he entered Memorial University of Newfoundland at age 15 and graduated three years later with a scholarship to attend the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He has published two books, "Canada and Other Matters of Opinion" and "Points of View". His acclaimed 1994 documentary film "Unpeopled Shores", about the collapse of Newfoundland's fisheries, resonated across Canada and beyond. His longtime producer at The National, Tony Burman, summed it up well: "Very few Canadians turn off the set when Rex Murphy is on."
