Grant Robertson and Gordon Pitts of the Globe and Mail list five things about Canadian television programming:
- Battle of the Network Executives
“There is a myth that Canadian TV is all about worthy domestic offerings such as Corner Gas and This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Forget it. The real battleground is in U.S. shows, from hits like House and Desperate Housewives to clunkers such as Smith and Six Degrees.”
From CBC:
- Canadian TV artists lament big spending on U.S. programs
“There’s been a huge increase in spending on foreign drama by private broadcasters like CTVglobemedia and CanWest, while spending on Canadian drama shows has dropped, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting pointed out.”
