InSecurityNatalie Lisinska and Richard Yearwood of InSecurity are our guests this week, chatting about the show and Diane’s shoe size.

First we go over CBC’s recently announced renewals and apparent cancellations, Endgame‘s March 14 premiere, and Call Me Fitz‘s US pickup.

What does the shakeup at CTV mean? We have no idea, but talk about it anyway.

And we discuss the place of the TV critic versus episode recapper versus fanboy in relation to Slate’s much-discussed-among-critics piece.

Craig Olejnik and Ennis Esmer of The ListenerThis week we have interviews with Craig Olejnik (Toby, left) and Ennis Esmer (Oz, right) of The Listener, and Ennis talks about his hosting gig on the upcoming Wipeout Canada as well. The Listener season two premieres tonight.

Anthony and Diane chat about Jim Henshaw’s Super Bowl conspiracy – did Rogers and Shaw “forget” to substitute the Fox feed with their own to thumb their noses at the CRTC?

We puzzle about why neither Flashpoint nor Glee saw a post-Super Bowl ratings boost in Canada – Flashpoint actually got fewer viewers than usual.

And we riff on the CBC’s new five year plan and whether it might one day be a real public broadcaster.

Not one but two interviews this week, with Stacey Farber of 18 to Life and Brandon Firla of Little Mosque on the Prairie. Both shows are currently airing on CBC and have new DVD releases.

Great news for Flashpoint – they get the plum post-Superbowl spot on CTV and got a new syndication deal with CBS and ION in the US.

Anthony and Diane discuss CBC ‘s “new” direction – will they get rid of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune? Should they? Will they become more of a public broadcaster or are they forced to operate like a private network?

Something CBC does right is getting their programs on iTunes and Netflix – you can already catch InSecurity on Netflix, for example.

LM 501-502 D3 SW 0035(1)Diane shares what she learned about what makes a 6/10 versus 10/10 Canadian Content show. Surprise: Being Human counts!

We discuss the Canadian Media Fund and our puzzlement over how television funding in Canada seems to be a disincentive to creating good or successful shows.
