In the news: Handicapping Canada’s Next Top Model

Vinay Menon of the Toronto Star rates the models:

  • Who will be Canada’s Next Top Model?
    “So to handicap the 10 new contestants, I consulted psychics, lurked in chatrooms, scrutinized thousands of pictures, performed background checks, analyzed secretly obtained audition footage and, oh yeah, studied interview segments from Star! Daily. Then I poured myself a martini and thanked God my wife never reads this dispatch. “

In the news: CBC’s new ratings system

Guy Dixon of the Globe and Mail reports on CBC’s new system of rating shows:

  • CBC-TV fine-tunes rating system: Unlike private broadcasters who gauge shows only in terms of revenue, audience numbers and costs, CBC will try to measure ‘public value’
    “Known as PARC and detailed in a recent memo from CBC-TV executive vice-president Richard Stursberg to staff, the system gives all CBC shows a target number for their public value (P), expected audience (A), estimated revenues (R) and costs (C). Public value is measured two ways: Shows are given a number on a 1-to-5 scale for their relative distinctiveness, and then audiences are surveyed to measure the shows’ quality.”
