Canadian Television 2015 a Guide to Current Production CANADIAN TELEVISION 2015 A GUIDE TO CURRENT PRODUCTION Prepared for Michael Hennessy, President & CEO Canadian Media Production Association (CMPA) Curated by Bill Brioux CANADIAN TELEVISION 2015 1 A GUIDE TO CURRENT PRODUCTION CANADIAN TV ENTERS A GOLDEN AGE For the last 30 years, in my time reporting on it, television in Canada has undergone many changes. The one constant, however, has been the nagging impression that Canadian television is somehow inferior to the US brand. This notion has only intensified in recent years, in what some call the new “Golden Age” of TV drama. So, as many have been asking, where is Canada’s Golden Age? Well, you’ll find it in the pages of this book. Not everything that comes out of Canada is the quality of The Sopranos or Mad Men or Breaking Bad. Then again, few shows from America can come close to Bill Brioux these classics. The fact is Fargo, the most-nominated TV series at the 2014 Emmy Awards, is produced in the province of Alberta. Yes, the producers and many of the stars are Americans, but you should hear them gush about Canadian crews. Billy Bob Thornton, for one, is a fan. “One night, it went down to 40 below and they wouldn’t allow us to work,” he told me of working near Calgary on Fargo. “You figure if a Canadian says it’s too dangerous to go out there, it probably is too dangerous to go out.” FX Networks, considered the top non-premium US cable brand and a rival to HBO overall, invested The fact is television $100 million in Canada during the past TV season. has become a Fargo, The Strain and Man Seeking Woman were borderless business. the result – three shows any jurisdiction would be proud to produce. Mexican-born director and executive producer Guillermo del Toro has shot five projects in Toronto, including The Strain. “The crews are so fantastic,” he says. “When we work together in anything I produce, I feel the crew happy and blooming.” What about our creators and showrunners? A sign of Canada’s maturity as a TV nation is that homegrown executive producers can now feel confident planting their production flags on foreign soil. Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern, the team behind the Can-Am success story Flashpoint, took their latest project—the war drama X Company—to Hungary. CANADIAN TELEVISION 2015 1 A GUIDE TO CURRENT PRODUCTION In Man Seeking Woman, you have a Canadian—Ottawa-native Jay Baruchel—as the main star of an American production shooting in Canada. Toronto subs for Chicago in the narrative but that’s okay, says Baruchel. “What makes a Canadian project Canadian is something we all have to figure out,” he says. “It doesn’t always have to be Laura Secord running through the forest. If someone is from Canada and they create in Canada, and the money and tax dollars go back into Canada, that’s Canadian art.” Bill Brioux (left) in Toronto in Nov., 2014, moderating a celebration of 100 episodes of Murdoch Mysteries with series star Yannick Bisson. The fact is television has become a borderless business. In the past few years, I’ve travelled to Dublin, Budapest, Dieppe and Buenos Aires to report on Canadian-made productions. It was an eye-opener for me to see the giant footprint Canada has in Cannes at the annual MIPCOM TV marketplace. Shows such as The Book of Negroes shuttle actors and crews from Nova Scotia to Johannesburg en route to producing memorable television. Within Canada, it’s not just Vancouver and Toronto competing against Hollywood, Atlanta, Wilmington, New York and New Orleans as television production hubs. I’ve chased TV stories from Dawson City to Winnipeg to Regina to St. John’s to Montreal to Ottawa to Halifax to Hamilton, all in the past two years. Canadian television production is booming, and the proof can be found in these pages. This book doesn’t even tell the full story. Great children’s shows, TV-movies and documentaries are also in production from coast to coast. What we have here is a window on the main comedies, dramas and reality shows produced either in Canada or by Canadians. Because it is a first attempt to cull and catalogue on behalf of the Canadian Media Production Association, one or two shows may fall through the cracks. Apologies in advance, but if your production is somehow not showcased here, take heart that you live in a land where the TV industry is so vibrant and abundant that we left even your show out! With your help, this will be a more complete listing next time. It has been my good fortune to travel to sets in local and far-flung locations to speak with producers, actors, writers and crews to bring this great TV success story together. Welcome to a Golden Age of television any nation would be proud to call its own.

    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL NATIONAL SPECIALTY SERVICES PANEL MTV Canada re an episode of MTV Live (“Self Love”) (CBSC Decision 06/07-0763) Decided May 1, 2007 R. Cohen (Chair), R. Deverell (ad hoc), M. Harris, M. Hogarth, P. O’Neill, H. Pawley, M. Ziniak (ad hoc) THE FACTS MTV Live is a youth-oriented magazine/talk program broadcast on MTV Canada. The episode in question aired from 7:30-8:30 am on February 27, 2007. It appeared to be a rerun of a previously aired episode because the hosts referred to “tonight”. The episode was hosted by Daryn Jones, Jessi Cruickshank and Diane Salema. The theme of the episode was “self love”, i.e. masturbation. The episode did not contain any viewer advisories. It was rated PG. During the program, a box was present in the lower right-hand corner of the screen that showed the comments of viewers who were participating in the live online chat session. The majority of the comments referred to the topic of day, masturbation. Also, at some points during the program, facts and information about masturbation and related topics appeared in words in a crawl at the bottom of the screen. Diane introduced the topic of the day at the beginning of the program in the following terms (a more complete transcript of the relevant portions of the program can be found in Appendix A): Um yeah, today’s topic on the show is about masturbation. Yeah, so let’s get in to chat and talk about this, ’cause this is gonna be a good one.

  • Annual Report |2016
    Annual report | 2016 $500 million Commitment worth celebrating! Marking our $500,000,000 milestone in financing for Canada’s independent television & film community Proud to support Canadian television & film — and even prouder of the results Half a billion … and counting As industry insiders, we know just how much work — and money — it takes to create great television and film. So in 1980, we launched our first fund to support Canada’s independent producers. Since then, we’ve invested a total of $532,039,665 in nearly 2,000 productions via four different funds and programs. And while we’re tremendously proud of that contribution, we’re even prouder of the results. Many of these productions have attracted critical acclaim and awards, including Emmys, Rockies and fistfuls of Geminis, Genies and Canadian Screen Awards. They’ve premiered at Cannes, TIFF and Sundance and been broadcast around the world. Most importantly, they’ve contributed to a rich and diverse Canadian culture. In 2016, we committed $28.2 million in 113 productions that ran the gamut from serious to seriously entertaining: from exposés and insight-packed documentaries to edgy comedy and absorbing dramas. Now, thanks to recent changes to the CRTC rules governing Certified Independent Producer Funds, we’ll have the flexibility to support an even broader range of productions, including co-ventures. At the Rogers Group of Funds, we believe in supporting great television and film. It’s why we’ve invested more than half a billion dollars to date. And it’s why we’ll continue to offer Canadian independent producers a vital source of funding in the years to come.
