In the news: Vancouver TV production

John Doyle reports from Vancouver:

  • Live from Vancouver, where the action is
    “Intelligence comes from Haddock Entertainment, as did Da Vinci’s Inquest and Da Vinci’s City Hall. All three have been made here, set here and have dealt with issues that directly reflect the reality of life in and around Vancouver. Da Vinci’s City Hall focused to an extraordinarily detailed and compelling degree on the municipal politics and street life of a major Canadian city. This fall, I understand, there will be a Da Vinci’s City Hall TV movie for CBC. I’ll be talking to Chris Haddock in the next few days about that. I’ll also be talking to John Cassini, who stars in Intelligence as Ronnie Delmonico, the key sidekick to main character Jimmy Reardon (Ian Tracey). Cassini also stars in Robson Arms as Yuri Kukoc, the superintendent of the Robson Arms apartment building. “

Vinay Menon of the Toronto Star (see last half of the article):

  • A Shaq attack on extra pounds
    “The third season of Instant Star (CTV, 9:30 tonight) begins with an industry buzzphrase: “multi-platform content rollout.” Fun! This means fans can watch online, consume 11 supplemental webisodes and even hum along to the companion CD (Songs From Instant Star 3 will be released July 3).”

In the news: Canadian Idol performances start

With a little hyperbole, CTV recounts last night’s Canadian Idol:

Tina Comeau of the The Yarmouth Vanguard writes about a hometown contender:

  • Votes pour in Monday night for Dwight d’Eon on Canadian Idol
    “Monday night was the night West Pubnico’s Dwight d’Eon performed with the Top 11 male performers on Canadian Idol. It was also the first chance fans got to vote for d’Eon to keep him in the competition and move him towards the Top 10.”

In the news: Instant Star starts season three

Marise Strauss of Playback talks about changings behind the scenes and to the schedule of Instant Star:

  • CTV plays catchup with Star
    “The third season of homegrown teen drama Instant Star returns to the CTV primetime schedule Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. ET with the first of 13 new episodes, just one week after wrapping its second season on June 19. The Epitome Pictures show was bounced around the CTV schedule and aired only half of its second season last summer, before returning with the remaining six last month. Star will move to its regular Sunday 7:30 p.m. timeslot beginning July 8.”
