From a media release:

The Montréal Canadiens and Bell today announced the return of the hotly anticipated documentary series 24CH, airing weekly on RDS, Canal D, CTV Montréal, Bell Local and the Bell TV app. Bell customers can access 24CH Premiere on the Bell TV app, and 24CH The Quiz, a new fan interactive segment for this season, on Bell Local from Fibe TV.

New for the third season of the program, 24CH production teams will follow key Canadiens players on their days off to give a personal perspective on the star athletes, capturing players’ everyday lives, visiting their home towns, and meeting their families.

“The last season of 24CH was the first time a professional sports team offered its fans a weekly series for an entire season, and the overwhelming response resulted in even more programming,” said Kevin Gilmore, Chief Operating Officer for the Montréal Canadiens. “This season, we’ll better acquaint fans with the players and other members of the organization, showing them both at work and outside the Bell Centre and the Bell Sports Complex. We’ll discover the Canadiens’ world and its global scope by visiting our players’ home towns and CH fans worldwide, along with the places where they get together.”

24CH season three will explore the entire organization, revealing the strategies behind the global impact of the Montréal Canadiens and share passionate fan stories from across the country and around the world. This new season also introduces 24CH The Quiz, which will test the fans’ Canadiens knowledge in a fun and engaging format. Hosted by Geneviève Langlois, 24CH The Quiz is available on demand on Bell Local.

Couple that with the success that recent Canadian shows like Bitten and Orphan Black have enjoyed, and there’s good reason to believe a northern protector could emerge in live action within the next five years.

State Of Incarceration: Canadian TV At Its Best
Make no mistake about it –these are dark days for Canadian public television threatened by government cut backs and dwindling ratings. And then along comes a special so powerful and forceful it will have you cheering for CBC-TV’s survival. It’s an hour titled State Of Incarceration written, directed and produced by veteran Andrew Gregg (We Will Remember Them)–a look at the federal Tories wrong headed determinations to spend billions more on incarcerating criminals. Gregg tells me he got the idea after reading an article in The Economist about the huge expenditure in building new jails in California and Texas. Continue reading.
