Upcoming series: Project Runway Canada, Slice, Oct. 8

From a Slice media release:

12 Designers. 11 Cuts. 1 Runway.

  • Project Runway Canada Premieres with 90-minute Special Monday, Oct. 8 at 10pm ET/PT only on Slice(TM)

Slice(TM) will launch the inaugural season of Project Runway Canada on Monday, October 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Hosted by international fashion icon and legendary supermodel, Iman, the highly-anticipated Canadian version of the Emmy-nominated U.S. series gives 12 talented and hungry fashion designers from across the country the opportunity of a lifetime – a chance to break into the notoriously exclusive fashion industry. To earn this honour, they must compete in a series of challenges that will determine who has what it takes to be the next “It” designer. Faced with demanding tasks and the daily grind of living together, the designers’ wits, character, and creativity are put to the test over 11 episodes. Project Runway Canada begins with a 90-minute special episode, introducing the 12 designer hopefuls on Monday, October 8 at 10pm ET/PT. The series will air weekly in that timeslot only on Slice(TM).

In the news: Specialty channels this fall

Jim Bawden of the Toronto Star files a fall TV preview article on upcoming specialty channel fare, including Canadian shows such as Across the River to Motor City, the Food Network’s Fink, Colin & Justin’s Home Heist, Rent a Goalie and History Channel’s Lost Worlds:

  • Rounding out the specialty menu
    “The second season of Rent-A Goalie gets up and running. It’s a smoother blend of a sitcom that could catch on like Little Mosque if given half a chance. Joining the regulars are such hockey legends as Phil and Tony Esposito, Darryl Sittler, Mike Palmateer and Tie Domi (starts Sun. Nov. 4 at 9 p.m.).” Read more.
