Air Farce New Year's Eve Celebrates 25Th For Immediate Release: December 18, 2017 Tweet this Release: www.airfarce.com/press AIR FARCE NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY BROADCAST ON CBC, DECEMBER 31 Kim Jong-un, Putin, Trump, Morneau, Scheer, Singh, Sears and CIBC Penguins all under fire Introducing the Farce’s newest member Lisa Gilroy Kurt Browning, Lloyd Robertson and David Suzuki guest star Toronto (December 18, 2017) – A comedy staple for Canadians looking for homegrown laughs, AIR FARCE is one of the most popular and enduring comedy troupes in the country skewering the biggest news stories, events, people, and pop culture phenomena of the year. This year, the Farce’s long- standing New Year’s Eve tradition celebrates 25 years on television. AIR FARCE NEW YEAR’S EVE premieres Sunday, December 31 at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC with an encore broadcast later the same night at 12:05 a.m. (12:35 NT). Click on the link for AIR FARCE Photos and Bios AIR FARCE NEW YEAR’S EVE 2017 targets include Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, Donald J. Trump, Justin Trudeau, Finance Minister Bill Morneau, Canada’s new party leaders Andrew Scheer and Jagmeet Singh, Sears, Tim Hortons and CIBC. This year, Wonder Woman battles America’s biggest threat – President Donald J. Trump, Quebec’s anti-burka law gets a well-deserved jab, and The Handmaid’s Tale gets a musical treatment with Taylor Swift. Capping off the special is the infamous F-BOMB – its mission is simple, to eradicate 2017’s most worthy targets, as suggested online by AIR FARCE viewers. An annual tradition, the year’s five most irritating targets get the richly deserved Farce Bomb filled with monstrously messy guck dropped from 50 feet above. What began as a troupe of four in 1992 – with Roger Abbott, Don Ferguson, Luba Goy, and John Morgan – has burgeoned into a cast of eight. AIR FARCE NEW YEAR’S EVE 2017 stars founding troupe members Don Ferguson and Luba Goy, and veterans Jessica Holmes (The Holmes Show, The Itch), Craig Lauzon (Fool Canada, The Ron James Show), and Darryl Hinds (My Babysitter’s a Vampire, Little Mosque on the Prairie). Recent recruits include Chris Wilson (The Beaverton, What Would Sal Do, Meet the Family), Isabel Kanaan (Haunted or Hoax), and Canadian Screen Award- nominee Lisa Gilroy (Undercover High, The Zone) who makes her AIR FARCE debut. As is tradition, joining the cast for the one-hour special are some very special guests: David Suzuki and Lloyd Robertson make return appearances while Canadian figure skating champion Kurt Browning finds himself on thin ice with an unlikely skating partner in his first FARCE flight. Over the years, AIR FARCE has featured nearly 200 illustrious guests, our very first being former troupe member Dave Broadfoot. Guests that followed over the next 25 years include: Prime Ministers Justin Trudeau, Paul Martin, Jean Chrétien and Joe Clark; news anchors Peter Mansbridge, Lloyd Robertson and Lisa LaFlamme; TV personalities Don Cherry, Ron MacLean, Mike Holmes and David Suzuki; comedians Brent Butt, Rick Mercer, Colin Mochrie, Russell Peters and Mary Walsh; actors Megan Follows, Graham Greene, Paul Gross, and Sheila McCarthy; musical guests Jann Arden, Measha Brueggergosman, Jim Cuddy, Anne Murray, and Serena Ryder; athletes Mike “Pinball” Clemons, Doug Gilmour, Milos Raonic, Elvis Stojko and Jamie Salé; authors Margaret Atwood and David Chilton; filmmaker David Cronenberg; and astronaut Chris Hadfield, to name a few. AIR FARCE NEW YEAR’S EVE is written by Kevin Wallis, Wayne Testori, Carly Heffernan and Rob Lindsay. Contributing writers are Chris Wilson and Sam Mullins. The special is directed by Rob Lindsay and Wayne Moss. AIR FARCE NEW YEAR’S EVE is produced by Don Ferguson Productions (DFP) in association with CBC. Executive Producer is Don Ferguson.

It became a weekly television series and ran for 16 highly successful seasons on CBC-TV (1993-2008), while its annual New Year’s television special (1992–present) celebrates its 25th anniversary and continues to be a ratings hit today.

  • Cross-Promotion, Self-Promotion Effects in News Media
    The McMaster Journal of Communication Volume 8, 10th Anniversary Edition 2013 Cross-Promotion, Self-Promotion Effects in News Media Christopher Terry McMaster University Copyright © 2013 by the authors. The McMaster Journal of Communication is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://digitalcommons.mcmaster.ca/mjc Cross-Promotion, Self-Promotion Effects in News Media Christopher Terry Abstract In this paper, the use of self-promotion and cross-promotion in news media is examined through a study of Canadian media giant, Bell Media’s CTV News multi-platform news operation. Through a content analysis of four CTV News platforms; conventional television, specialty television, their website and mobile application, a pattern of promotional use emerges. This pattern, which I refer to as ‘herding,’ is designed to influence viewers to shift their viewing patterns towards more lucrative areas where advertising is more valued by the media owner. There are also concerns by media experts that promotions combined with advertising have a direct effect of diminishing the quantity of news available on these platforms thereby reducing the public’s ability to be informed about issues of the day. Keywords: self-promotion, cross-promotion, advertising fragmentation, news media, Bell Media, CTV News 8 The McMaster Journal of Communication Fall 2013 Volume 8, 10th Anniversary Edition Cross-Promotion, Self-Promotion Effects in News Media Christopher Terry McMaster University Introduction ith the growth of media concentration of ownership and with the emergence of new platforms, traditional news media organizations such as television now run parallel W operations on at least two digital media platforms such as mobile apps and websites.
