“A recent survey says that awareness is at an all-time high for the new, more viewer-friendly CBC prime-time lineup. One in three people polled late last month by The Canadian Press and Harris-Decima had actually heard of The Border, jPod, MVP and Sophie. Mind you, that’s heard of â€“ not actually watched.
