In the news: Murdoch Mysteries heads west

From Fiona Morrow of the Globe and Mail:

Go west, young Murdoch
“Starring Yannick Bisson as the eponymous hero, Detective William Murdoch, the first season of Murdoch Mysteries garnered two Gemini awards and 14 nominations. Originally set and shot in Toronto, the show made the trek across the country to film two episodes out West for the second season â€“ a prerequisite in order for production company, Shaftesbury, to receive all of its funding.” Read more.

Trump Fires Up Canadian Numbers Game
“Heartland had a hearty (and typical) 637,000 earlier on Sunday night. Compare that to CTV’s Degrassi: The Next Generation, which managed just 157,000 viewers across Canada. Yeah, but it kills in the demo, right? Wrong. Down to 81,000.” Read more.

From Mike’s Bloggity Blog:

A real Canadian talent
Last night I was watching Degrassi (which I still insist is one of the best Canadian shows going) and I came to a conclusion: I think Paula Brancati has become my favorite Canadian actress. Right now Brancati is playing double duty on two shows that I have become feriously loyal to: Degrassi and Being Erica. Scoring roles on two big series is a tough feat for any actor, making it more difficult for Paula is the fact that her characters on the two shows have an age difference of about 13 years.” Read more.
