In the news: Air Farce to end

From Bill Brioux at TV Feeds My Family:

  • Air Farce Grounded After Half Season Order
    “The series, which concludes its 15th season this coming Friday at 8, was previously listed among shows returning for next season. While that is still true, the buzz around the halls of CBC’s downtown Toronto bunker last night–and confirmed by an insider–was that the Farce will only be with the network for ten more episodes, starting in October, with an hour-long New Year’s Eve special standing as the series finale.” Read more.

Save jPod campaign

From Alex Strachan of Canwest Media at TV Guy’s Guide to Good TV:

  • Fan campaign to save ‘jPod’
    “This ship has probably already sailed, but that isn’t going to stop fans from throwing a lifeline. Devotees of the recently booted jPod have launched a campaign to get CBC program executives — yes, hard as it may be to believe, the public broadcaster does have some — to change their mind about the show’s cancellation.” Read more.
