In the news: Winners and losers of the past season

From Alex Strachan of Canwest News Service:

  • Reality, crime the success stories
    “Two Canadian programs broke into the Top 20 list for the first time: So You Think You Can Dance Canada (No. 14, with 1.4 million viewers), and Flashpoint (No. 18, with 1.3 million). Corner Gas drew more than a million viewers a week as well, for its swan-song season. Corner Gas is now closed, but So You Think You Can Dance Canada and Flashpoint are expected to return.” Read more.

In the news: Geminis honour shows with international audiences

From Guy Dixon of the Globe and Mail:

  • Foreign viewers love Canadian TV
    “The Gemini Awards: The best in Canadian TV? More like, the best in Canadian TV snagging audiences abroad. With CTV’s Flashpoint receiving 19 nominations and the CBC’s period drama The Tudors garnering 11, the underlying message at Tuesday’s Gemini nomination announcement was less about the perseverance of Canadian TV shows and broadcasters during the economic downturn. Instead, the emphasis was on how well those shows are doing abroad.” Read more.
