In the news: CBC’s successes

From Brendan Kelly of Variety:

  • CBC warms up to winter
    “Canuck pubcaster CBC’s strategy of preeming top series in January rather than in the fall appears to be paying off, with good ratings for its ambitious slate of new homegrown series. The Canadian network’s market share has increased to 8.1, up from 7.5 last January, and several of the new offerings are among the top-rated Canadian TV shows.” Read more.

In the news: The world of jPod

From Blaine Kyllo of the Georgia Straight:

  • jPod3jPod reflects real world
    “jPod has plenty to say about the process of developing video games and how management can interfere to the detriment of a project. And it’s a Coupland creation, so there are tons of pop-culture references and scads of social satire. In terms of tone and theme, the television show is somewhat different: it doesn’t quite skewer consumer culture the way the book does—after all, television is an advertising medium—and it ramps up the book’s absurdity to near slapstick.” Read more.
