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: CBC’s new shows attractive to advertisers

From Andrew Ryan of the Globe and Mail:

  • The Border, Sophie and jPod back CBC’s bet on home-grown TV
    “As expected, the flashy law-enforcement drama The Border was the most popular: The show’s debut two Mondays back drew an impressive 710,000 total viewers. The following night, jPod attracted 472,000 total viewers. The numbers went up again that Wednesday when the single-gal sitcom Sophie found its way to 630,000 viewers. Friday yielded the only disappointment – the desperate-hockey-wives comedy-soap MVP, with a first-night audience of only 383,000 total viewers.” Read more.
