Mary Young Leckie, co-creator and executive producer of MVP, was my guest today on the TV, eh? Blogtalkradio show and she was fabulous, sharing the history of this show that refuses to disappear — cancelled by CBC, but seeing new life on that network, SOAPnet, ABC, and on DVD, all making a season two a definite possibility.

The interview’s about 16 minutes: listen below, visit the show site, or subscribe via iTunes or with any other program via the TV, Eh? feed.

Here’s the dates to remember for MVP:

• Friday, June 13 is the start of season one reruns on CBC.
• On June 19, MVP premieres on Soapnet, with weekly airings Thursdays at 11 pm Eastern.
• June 20, it airs at 10 pm Eastern on ABC following the Daytime Emmys.
• July 15, watch for the DVD release.

For a show that was cancelled in March by CBC, MVP: The Secret Lives of Hockey Wives is having a very good year. In April, SOAPnet announced they’d picked up the first season of the show, which is set to air on that American cable network starting June 19. This week, ABC — the broadcast network sibling of SOAPnet — announced the first episode would air immediately following their telecast of the Daytime Emmys on June 20.

Is there still hope for a second season then? I’ll ask that and more of Mary Young Leckie, co-creator and executive producer, on Sunday’s TV, eh? Blogtalkradio show. Listen live at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern (call in with your questions at 646- 200-4063) or catch the podcast afterwards.
