In the news: Interview with Phil Keoghan of No Opportunity Wasted

R.M. Vaughan of the Globe and Mail talks to the host of the upcoming Canadian version of No Opportunity Wasted:

  • The next pit stop: your dreams
    “Despite his much-publicized adventures – stunts that range from mile-high bungee jumping to serving dinner at the mouth of an erupting volcano – Keoghan is at pains to prove he’s really a therapist in Indiana Jones drag.”

  • manuel.jpgJay Manuel comes north to hometown to host Canada’s Next Top Model
    “When they asked me to come and host the show, it was really important to me to be an executive producer. It wasn’t just a credit. I am involved in the show from soup to nuts, from hiring the right staff to educating them on how the show is done in the States to overseeing every little detail in production.”

Ratings, Trailer Park Boys

In the news: Ratings and other lies

John Doyle of the Globe and Mail writes not specifically about Canadian television, but a reminder that ratings – especially here – can be deceptive:

  • Lies, damned lies, and viewership statistics
    “My point, and I do have one today, is that statistics lie, just as people do. Nobody is going broke in the TV racket. Viewers are not abandoning TV in droves. They’re watching what they want, when they want or when they can get to it, just like me. And I’m not special. Ask anyone.”
