From a media release:

This fall also welcomes the premiere of the previously announced Global Original Private Eyes West Coast from Lionsgate Canada and Piller/Segan. Starring Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson reprising their roles as Matt Shade and Angie Everett, the duo has traded Toronto for the West Coast, embracing a fresh start both personally and professionally. As they settle into life in Victoria and launch a brand-new P.I. firm, Shade and Angie navigate the growing pains of starting over in an unfamiliar city: balancing high-stakes cases, evolving relationships, and the challenge of building a new community from the ground up. Without their trusted Toronto network to lean on, the pair must rely on each other more than ever as they tackle a slate of adrenaline-fueled investigations. From tracking down a missing student deep in the B.C. wilderness to extracting a murder confession from a surfer in Tofino, Shade and Angie quickly discover that life on the West Coast comes with even bigger risks, higher stakes, and plenty of unexpected twists.

Corus also has plenty more to celebrate within its award-winning Global News portfolio, as the home to the #1 morning newscast, #1 noon newscast, and #1 national newscast**. Reaching more than 16 million Canadians each month across linear and digital platforms***, with 91 per cent of viewing to our linear news broadcasts being watched live**** and five per cent growth year-over-year for live viewing on digital platforms*****. New this fall, the team behind The Morning Show, the #1 Canadian news/lifestyle morning program******, is launching its expanded series TMS2, with Global Entertainment’s Morgan Hoffman at the helm. Please see yesterday’s announcement with more details on TMS2 to be announced.

No love for The Bachelorette Canada

It’s sad that instead of making original content, broadcasters are buying concepts. They are cheaper to produce and bring in decent ad dollars, so I guess that’s the bottom line. As someone who works in the industry, I find it disheartening. —Chris
