  • Canadian TV Drama by Catherine Murray, Roger De La Garde and Claude Martin1
    By Catherine Murray, Roger de la Garde and Claude Martin 1 Star Wars: Canadian TV Drama By Catherine Murray, Roger de la Garde and Claude Martin1 The Audio-Visual Landscape Canadian broadcasting folklore has it that French language broadcasting is a success, English language broadcasting a failure. The blame for that failure is laid on the geographic and cultural proximity to the United States that leads to hyper-commercial star wars with the tv entertainment machine south of the border. Conclusions about situational victories or routs are drawn from overall viewing trends, which show that francophones spend the majority (some 76%) of their viewing time with indigenous programs and the majority (some 72%) of English viewers’ time is spent with American entertainment. This report argues that the “cultural proximity” principle cannot explain the relative health of Quebec dramatic broadcasting or the relative fragility of English language Canadian tv, which has been much studied by European scholars as a canary in the mine of globalization. Pictures of “success” underplay both the rate of incursion of US programming and the role of social formations, managerial judgement and creative leadership in Quebec in sustaining a viable alternative to US stars despite a small population. The larger size or economies of scale of the English market are not sufficient to win the battle of supply and viewing to big-budget US drama, in part due to structural characteristics. But there has been some repatriation of audiences (albeit to new genres of programming which may be better translated into broadband delivery), triumph of cultural proximity in news, sports and, increasingly, comedy, and some isolated successes in drama, as the data will show.
