The journey begins on YTV’s Saturday morning cartoon block, Crunch, where high-flying adventure is the order of business with the launch of the new animated YTV original production Storm Hawks. The series features five death-defying mismatched teens who fight villains in the sky on their flying motorcycles. With 52 half-hour episodes, Storm Hawks debuts with a one-hour special in its regular timeslot Saturday, September 8 at 10 a.m. Saturday mornings continue to be filled with free-flying adventure as a teenaged Superman defends the rights of all free worlds and upholds the laws of the newly formed United Planets in Legion of Superheroes beginning Saturday, September 8 at 11 a.m.

Take a trip to base camp as reality TV goes kid-friendly with the launch of the YTV original production The Adrenaline Project. In this new, edge-of-your-seat series, host Caz and trainer Boomer put five thrill-seeking teens to the test with rigorous physical and mental challenges in preparation for the ultimate extreme event.

In the news: Adam Beach of Moose TV

From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • Role model and proud of it

Law & Order: SVU is like a big massive movie production. One’s a comedy, one’s a drama, but what I like about both of them is that they’re shattering the image of Hollywood Indians.'”
