In 1991, Wilson moved to Calgary with her husband and daughter to become the anchor of CBC Newsworld’s prime-time program, This Country. The relocation was both a personal and professional adventure. After two years in Alberta, filled with ski trips and new challenges, she returned to Toronto to continue anchoring various CBC Newsworld programs, including Newsworld Today and CBC Morning.
Wilson co-anchored the political program Politics and later hosted The Money Show, a weekly segment focused on financial literacy and personal finance. Her skillful presentation and ability to explain complex topics contributed greatly to the show’s success and educational value. These programs helped establish her as a credible voice in both political and financial journalism.
Nancy Wilson has interviewed prominent international and political figures, including former French presidents François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy. She also spoke with entertainment icons such as Martin Sheen, Robin Williams, Sally Field, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Ricky Martin. Among her favorite interviews were with Preston Manning for his intellectual depth and with Gorbachev, though language barriers made the latter more challenging. A memorable but frustrating interview occurred with Prince Philip in 1987, which she described as difficult and unsatisfying due to his evasiveness and conduct.
Wilson is known for her composure during major live events. She anchored coverage during significant news moments, including the September 11 terrorist attacks and the 2008 Mumbai attacks. These live, unfolding events showcased her professionalism and ability to manage high-pressure broadcasts.
Wilson's contributions to Canadian journalism have been widely acknowledged. She received accolades for her anchoring work at CBC Newsworld, and her presence at industry events such as the CSC Awards Gala was met with appreciation and respect. Despite her success on-screen, she values her privacy and prefers the comfort of home when off-camera. A divorced mother, she raised her daughter, Caitlin, while maintaining a demanding career.
Nancy Wilson represents a pioneering figure in Canadian television journalism. Her broad-ranging experience in political, social, and financial reporting, combined with her poised delivery and deep understanding of complex issues, has made her an influential voice in the industry. Her career has inspired aspiring journalists, particularly women, demonstrating how intelligence, persistence, and adaptability can lead to long-standing success in media.
