Sunday Edition is a Canadian public affairs television program which aired from 1988 to 1999. The program was hosted by Mike Duffy and originated at CJOH-TV in Ottawa, Ontario.{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/113941094/duffy-show-kicks-off-with-mulroney-visit/|date=October 3, 1988|page=D-8|agency=Canadian Press|title=Duffy show kicks off with Mulroney visit|newspaper=Montreal Gazette|location=|via=Newspapers.com|access-date=December 1, 2022}} Over the course of its run, it aired in several different time slots from late Sunday morning to early Sunday afternoons. Its format was similar to that of American Sunday morning talk shows.

The program was at first co-operatively produced by several CTV affiliates, but at that point was not officially a CTV network program.{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/113941176/the-senator-goes-centre-stage-mike-duff/|date=August 27, 1988|page=C1, [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/113941217/the-senator/ C2]|first=Ted|last=Shaw|title=The Senator goes centre stage: Mike Duffy has chance to shine for rival colors|newspaper=Windsor Star|location=|via=Newspapers.com|access-date=December 1, 2022}} Sunday Edition later became part of the Baton Broadcast System schedule{{cite news|title=Baton adds Cancon to lineup|work=The Globe and Mail|date=June 28, 1997|id={{ProQuest|384683357}}|via=ProQuest|page=C-2}} and only officially became a CTV program in early 1998, shortly after Baton Broadcasting's acquisition of the network. At the same time, production moved to CTV's flagship studios at CFTO-TV in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough.{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/113941281/duffy-and-sunday-edition-to-leave-ottawa/|date=January 28, 1998|page=B6|title=Duffy and Sunday Edition to leave Ottawa studios|newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen|location=|via=Newspapers.com|access-date=December 1, 2022}}

The show was cancelled in 1999,{{cite news|first=Doug|last=Saunders|title=CBC's Cameron calling it quits; Meanwhile, CTV cancels Duffy's Sunday Edition|work=The Globe and Mail|date=June 11, 1999|id={{ProQuest|384437543}}|via=ProQuest|page=C-1}} and Duffy moved to a role as host of a prime time talk and interview series on CTV Newsnet.{{cite news|agency=TVData Features Syndicate|first=Tony|last=Atherton|title=That inimitable news style of his: Mike Duffy says goodbye to Sunday Edition, says hello to CTV's News1|work=The Daily Gleaner|date=July 23, 1999|id={{ProQuest|412727635}}|via=ProQuest}}

The CTV News-produced Question Period, which had been cancelled in the mid-1990s apparently due to the success of Sunday Edition, was revived in 2001 and now fills a similar role.
