In the news: CBC’s fall schedule analysed

Mark Dillon of Playback examines CBC’s fall schedule:

  • The Establishing Shot: CBC’s delicate balance of imports and homegrowns
    “Despite an inaugural season average of only 304,000, Intelligence remains on the sked because CBC has faith in Chris Haddock, with whom it enjoyed a number of strong years with Da Vinci’s Inquest. CBC exec director of network programming Kirstine Layfield says the network believes Haddock can retool the series for greater commercial appeal.”

Marcus Robinson of Playback reports on advertisers’ reaction to the schedule:

  • CBC’s fall schedule has promise, say media buyers
    “You won’t find the CBC on a multimillion-dollar spending spree for U.S. product, but this year’s fall lineup has media buyers lauding the pubcaster for the breadth of its primetime offerings, from returning comedy to new reality and family fare.”

In the news: Intelligence movie re-airs tonight

From the Toronto Star:

  • Tonight on TV
    “8 P.M. to 10 P.M. It was smart, it was sexy, it was edgy. So why has the CBC series Intelligence so far failed to interest Canadian viewers? It can’t be for lack of trying – CBC is repeating the original TV movie made in 2005 with Ian Tracey and Klea Scott. Intelligence deserves to succeed – shot in Vancouver, it takes advantage of the beauty of the city as well as the sense of danger. Tracey stars as Jimmy Reardon, a third-generation gangster heavily dependent on the drug trade, and Scott is the street smart government operative determined to bring him down (CBC at 8).”
