From a CTV media release:
For the 2009-10 season, CTV had:
- the most-watched Canadian drama, FLASHPOINT (1.5 million viewers);
- the #1 new Canadian drama, THE BRIDGE (1 million viewers);
- the #1 new comedy programs (Canadian or American) of the year, HICCUPS (972,000) and DAN FOR MAYOR (913,000);
This is great news. So why are they not doing more? Why do they still replace Canadian show with US shows during “sweeps”? Prove to Global and City TV etc. that it can be done.
