W NETWORK PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS:
LOVE IT OR LIST IT VANCOUVER (NEW EPISODES)
New episodes: Monday, September 2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT (60 minutes)
Love It or List It Vancouver showcases families in B.C.’s largest metropolitan city who are struggling with homes that no longer suit their needs. It’s up to designer Jillian Harris to put a stop to the wandering eyes of our homeowners, armed with their list of “must-haves to love it” and a design she hopes will persuade them to stay. Meanwhile, realtor Todd Talbot is determined to get homeowners to relocate by taking their list of “must-haves to list it” and finding them new digs. Every episode will take viewers on an emotional rollercoaster as Jillian and Todd battle it out for the homeowners’ allegiance. With renovation there are always setbacks and sometimes it means the homeowners must lose one of their “must- haves” on their list to stay. On the realtor’s end, finding everything the homeowners want in their dream home can be more difficult than originally anticipated. The stakes are high as the homeowners weigh in on the financial and emotional decisions of buying a new home or staying in the renovated one. Love It or List It Vancouver is produced by Big Coat Productions in association with W Network.

UNDERCOVER BOSS CANADA (NEW EPISODES)
New episodes: Thursday, September 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT (60 minutes)
Undercover Boss Canada follows executives as they leave the comfort of their offices to go undercover as frontline employees. The series is based on the format devised by Studio Lambert, part of the ALL3MEDIA group of companies. Each episode of Undercover Boss Canada features an executive who is transformed into a frontline worker with a covert disguise and a convincing back story. Working alongside their employees, each “boss” takes an often emotional journey, discovering the effects their decisions have on others, the perception of the company, and who the unsung heroes of their workforce are. Most importantly, they learn how to apply what they have gained from the experience – both for their company and for themselves. The first episode in September will feature Food Banks Canada which feeds nearly a million struggling Canadians a month. Viewers can tune-in to see how the company will cope with the growing number of families on the breadline. For more information about the series, please click here.

New episodes: Monday, September 30 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT (30 minutes)
This fall the international hit series Come Dine with Me Canada kicks off the new season with a week devoted to BBQ Masters. Each night for one week, five strangers take turns cooking up their idea of the perfect evening – that includes the menu, cocktails, wine, entertainment and ambiance. After dinner, each competitor rates the host’s performance and at the end of the week, the host with most votes is crowned the winner and rewarded with the ‘ultimate dinner party host’ title and a cash prize. But the themed blocks don’t end with BBQ – we’ll also see an all Italian challenge, spend a week in Vancouver and honour Bacon like never before. Produced by Proper Television in association with W Network and based on the format created by ITV Studios (UK). For more information about the series, please click here.
