For most of the 1990s and 2000s, ''Canada AM'' had a consistent running time of two and a half hours, airing between 6:30 and 9:00 a.m. local time, with most affiliates repeating the previous night's late local news at 6:00 a.m. As the program is produced live for the

; for a few years the 6:30 half-hour was in fact a semi-autonomous program known as ''AM Business''. From 7:00 on, the program used a format more in line with its U.S. counterparts. In its final seasons as CTV's Vancouver affiliate, CHAN-TV (known on air as BCTV) would pre-empt the first 30 minutes in favour of its own morning newscast, and eventually delayed the remainder of ''Canada AM'' by an hour, i.e. 8 to 10 a.m. (it did not carry the additional hour discussed below). The program also includes opt-outs for news updates from a local anchor at each station at the end of each half-hour. The network would always produce an alternate national segment for stations not using the opt-outs, as well as CTV News Channel. In fall 2000, CTV decided to match NBC's expansion of ''

''. As ''Live'' continued to have strong ratings stateside, the Canadian network re-added the talk show in fall 2001, bumping the "coffee talk" hour to 10:00 a.m. in most areas, before abandoning the final hour entirely later in the season. During the early to mid-1990s, ''Canada AM'' also aired a one-hour weekend edition, although this was essentially a "best-of" package of that week's regular shows. Another weekend program, '' Good Morning Canada'', was launched in the early 2000s but was also pre-taped using segments from local stations; it was cancelled in 2009. ''Canada AM'' underwent a format change on January 28, 2008, which saw the show expand to six hours of live programming between 6 a.m. and noon ET every weekday. Local CTV stations across the country aired ''Canada AM'' live between 6 and 9 a.m. local time (7 and 10 a.m. Atlantic Time, 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. Newfoundland Time), while the complete six-hour, live edition aired on

in Vancouver reported the cancellation of the Vancouver-based portions of ''Canada AM''. Biographies of Mi-Jung Lee and Rena Heer were taken off the show's website the same day. CTV announced that it would revert to the program's original format (the additional 6:00-6:30 half-hour will continue as well), stating that the decision was in response to viewer feedback from western Canada indicating a preference for the prior format. A few weeks prior, CTV cancelled the extra local news segments that appeared at :00 and :30 minutes past the hour, reverting to updates only at :25 and :55 minutes past the hour. Following the cancellation of the western edition, CTV continued to produce the 9:00 ET hour of ''Canada AM'' until September 2008. During those three months, CTV Newsnet aired 4 hours of ''Canada AM'' from 6:00-10:00 ET (3:00-7:00 PT), and 2 hours of its own news content from 10:00 a.m. to noon ET to replace the cancelled western edition.

also reverted to its original local updates (until they were cancelled in March 2009). The 9:00 ET hour of ''Canada AM'' was handled differently on the main network depending on the time zone: * Eastern, Atlantic and Newfoundland Time Zone viewers did not notice a schedule difference at all because the 9:00 ET edition was only available on cable. * Pacific Time Zone viewers were able to see the second and third hour of the eastern edition, but the first hour was preempted with the live 9:00 ET edition at 6:00 PT. The first hour of the eastern edition could only be viewed on CTV Newsnet between 3:00-4:00 a.m. PT. After the 9:00 ET hour of ''Canada AM'' was cancelled, CTV Newsnet (later rebranded as CTV News Channel) began airing an extra hour of its own news content, presented by Marci Ien. From that point onward, the program aired without deviations in every time zone, including ''Early Edition'' at 6:00 AM.
