Sunday’s TV, eh? live Internet show: Robson Arms, Bill C-10, TV websites and downloads

The first TV, eh? live Internet radio show will air Sunday, April 20 at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern and weekly thereafter. Listen live at Blogtalkradio or call in at 646-200-4063 to join the fun.

For the first show we’ve got some great guests lined up. Robson Arms returns to CTV’s regular schedule on April 28, and co-creators Susin Nielsen and Gary Harvey will talk about the show’s third season. Have a question for them? Call in live, or leave it in the comments and I might ask it for you.

My brother the technogeek, Steve Wild, will talk about what wacky television shows he watches and how he watches them: he’ll discuss TV on the web; how networks are missing the boat and how they’re succeeding. Let us know what you think.

And screenwriter/journalist Mark Leiren-Young was at the Senate committee hearings on Bill C-10 so he’ll be on the line to report on that controversy. Call in with your opinion: censorship or prudent oversight of taxpayer money?

Listen live Sundays at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern, call in at 646-200-4063, or listen to the archived podcast afterwards.
