The return of a CHCH television classic – the new Tiny Talent Time hits the air in 2014! Parent company launches new division – Channel Zero Digital (Toronto, Canada) This morning at its 2013 Upfront Presentation, Channel Zero made a series of announcements and revealed the CHCH Fall 2013 Television Schedule. “2014 marks a significant year for CHCH. The station will celebrate 60 years on the air, and we’re heading into the new television season with plenty of momentum and a strong and proven simulcast schedule,” said Chris Fuoco, VP Sales & Marketing, Channel Zero. “CHCH has established itself as a top 5 station in Toronto and Ontario, and we’re excited about what our 60th year plans have in store for our viewers and advertisers.” CHCH Primetime this Fall New Shows CHCH has picked up exclusive rights to SPIN OFF from Executive Producer Mark Burnett (Survivor, Celebrity Apprentice, The Voice). “In a 30-minute game of trivia and chance SPIN OFF contestants win big or lose it all against their greatest adversary – The Wheel!” explained show host and Gemini-nominated Second City Alumnus Elvira Kurt during today’s announcements. SPIN OFF premieres this Fall and airs Wednesdays at 8pm. The TV show also features a one-of-a-kind digital companion: SPIN OFF 360 lets viewers play along with the show in real time against other at- home players on any internet-enabled device, and outside the broadcast anyone can play SPIN OFF 360 HOME EDITION (which will be accessible late Summer from www.chch.com). At-home players, both playing in real time and Home Edition, can collect points to qualify for the season-ending digital tournament to win cash and prizes. “As a multi-platform property, SPIN OFF provides unique digital ad units and customizable TV integrations that seamlessly combine client brands into the overall entertainment experience,” said Geoff Thrasher, General Sales Manager, Channel Zero. David Caruso and Emily Procter bring crime and passion to CHCH this Fall with the debut of CSI: Miami Tuesdays at 10pm. Stand-up comedian and actor Cedric "The Entertainer" has been named the new host of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, which will slide into Wednesdays at 8:30pm rounding out CHCH’s game night following SPIN OFF. The Originals – an offshoot of The Vampire Diaries, is a brand new CW Series that will air Tuesdays at 8pm leading into Supernatural. Returning Favourites CHCH’s Fall line-up includes two of television’s longest-running and most popular game shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! six nights a week. In 2014, Jeopardy! will also reach a milestone – its 30th season. At the CHCH Upfront today, special guest Alex Trebek told guests about lots of great surprises planned for Jeopardy! fans. Viewers can count on CHCH for a solid schedule of highly-acclaimed news magazine programs including 20/20, 48 Hours and 60 Minutes. This Fall also marks the third season of Hart of Dixie starring Rachel Bilson as Dr. Zoe Hart in a fish-out-of-water comedic drama about small-town living, big-city attitudes and complicated love triangles. Sam and Dean return in the ninth season of Supernatural, and Brennan and Booth dish out humour and heart in Bones. CHCH is Your Home for Great Movies. From award-winning dramas to side-splitting comedies, CHCH serves up viewer favourites throughout the week, wrapping up with Hollywood’s biggest titles on the Sunday Blockbuster. The station has locked down deals with a number of film studios to continue its offering this Fall, including the original Hot Tub Time Machine with John Cusack just in time for the anticipated theatrical release of the film’s sequel, currently in production with lead actor Adam Scott. “CHCH has enjoyed stronger than ever growth, especially in primetime. Since the Fall of 2012 we’ve seen a 43% audience increase, which is a huge jump compared to other conventional Toronto stations,” stated Geoff Thrasher. “We stand behind our schedule and know it delivers.” 60 Years Strong! Since 1954, CHCH has entertained and informed millions of viewers. In 2014, the station reaches its most significant milestone yet - 60 years on the air! CHCH viewers can look forward to a year-long celebration starting January 2014 with on-air elements that pay tribute to the 60th Anniversary; the contemporary return of the channel’s original mascot Mr. Eleven; retrospective programming specials and anniversary-themed contests – all leading up to June 7, 2014 – the day that commemorates the launch of the station over half a century ago. After 60 years, CHCH is as strong as ever and ready to celebrate! The Stars are set to Shine on the New Tiny Talent Time! “We are elated that CHCH is bringing back a television classic recognized by viewers old and young alike!” said Jennifer Chen, VP of Programming, Channel Zero. The remake of the adored Tiny Talent Time will begin casting for its little stars this Fall. Production will take place at the start of the New Year with a target air date of Spring 2014. “It’s all part of the incredible 60th anniversary plans we have in store for CHCH viewers,” concluded Jennifer Chen. Clients interested in getting involved with this iconic show will have plenty of on-air and online sponsorship and brand integration opportunities. Those getting in early will benefit from the station’s marketing plans for the show from the casting phase right through to on-air promotion. Channel Zero Digital In a significant move to bolster its presence in online and digital media, CHCH’s parent company Channel Zero Inc. announced today that it has acquired a controlling interest in ANDPOP INC. and has formed its newest division – Channel Zero Digital. “By combining the already popular and highly-watched content on Andpop and ChartAttack with the plans we have for CHCH.com and the other Channel Zero digital properties, we can more quickly build scale and fast track our way into this sector,” said Chris Fuoco. Robert Ostfield (former ANDPOP INC. CEO) has been appointed Managing Director. “Channel Zero was a natural fit for Andpop. Both companies share a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a belief in the value of multi-platform video content. We are extremely excited about what we can accomplish together,” stated Robert. This acquisition has expanded the company’s online portfolio representing top-tier websites such as www.ANDPOP.com, www.ChartAttack.com, and www.CHCH.com. ANDPOP.com offers teens the best of pop culture in the form of high-quality multi-platform video content, featuring the latest breaking news and interviews with celebs like Selena Gomez, One Direction and The Wanted, to name a few. ChartAttack.com is a platform for indie and alternative artists to connect with music tastemakers through curated text and original video content. Chart Attack's Noisemakers video series artfully captures one-of-a-kind performances by emerging artists in unexpected locations. Its second season premieres June 15th and is presented by Deezer Canada (www.deezer.com). “Deezer is rapidly gaining steam in Canada,” stated Robert Ostfield, Managing Director, Channel Zero Digital. “As a worldwide digital music streaming service offering unique user experiences for Canadian music fans, we’re excited about working with Deezer and creating more customized original content for future partners.” Deezer reaches over 26 million music fans across 182 countries and currently attracts four million subscribers.

    February 15, 2018 Filed Electronically Mr. Chris Seidl Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Seidl: Re: Select broadcasting licences renewed further to Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2017-183: Applications 2017-0821-5 (Family Channel), 2017-0822-3 (Family CHRGD), 2017- 0823-1 (Télémagino), 2017-0841-3 (Blue Ant Television General Partnership), 2017-0824-9 (CHCH-DT), 2017-0820-8 (Silver Screen Classics), 2017-0808-3 (Rewind), and 2017-0837-2 (Knowledge). The Writers Guild of Canada (WGC) is the national association representing approximately 2,200 professional screenwriters working in English-language film, television, radio, and digital media production in Canada. The WGC is actively involved in advocating for a strong and vibrant Canadian broadcasting system containing high-quality Canadian programming. Given the WGC’s nature and membership, our comments are limited to the applications of those broadcasters who generally commission programming that engages Canadian screenwriters, and in particular those who significantly invest in programs of national interest (PNI). The WGC conditionally supports the renewal of the above-noted services, subject to our comments below. Executive Summary ES.1 The Commission set out its general approach to Canadian programming expenditure (CPE) and PNI requirements in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2015-86, Let’s Talk TV: The way forward - Creating compelling and diverse Canadian programming (the Create Policy). In it, the Commission was clear that CPE was a central pillar of the regulatory policy framework for Canadian television broadcasting, and that the guiding principle for setting CPE levels for independent broadcasters would be historical spending levels.

  • Canadian Broadcasting in New Media
    December 5, 2008 Via Epass Mr. Robert A. Morin Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Morin: Re: Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing CRTC 2008-11: Notice of consultation and hearing: Canadian broadcasting in new media 1. The Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) - the national voice of Canada‟s private broadcasters, representing the vast majority of Canadian programming services, including private television and radio stations, networks and specialty, pay and pay-per-view television services - is pleased to submit these comments in response to the above-noted Notice of Public Hearing. 2. The CAB requests the opportunity to appear at the February 17, 2009 hearing. 3. In our July 11, 2008 response to Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2008-44, which launched this current proceeding, the CAB noted that, at the time PN 2008-44 was issued and on a number of occasions since, the Commission had publicly stated that its intent for the new media broadcasting proceeding was not to regulate the Internet generally or to apply traditional broadcasting-style regulation to Internet content. Accordingly, we stated our understanding that, based on the Commission‟s public statements, the intent of this proceeding is to explore means other than regulation of the Internet which the Commission might employ to contribute to the ability of Canadians to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the Internet for the creation, distribution and accessing of high-quality professional Canadian content. 4. The CAB submits that the manner by which the CRTC can best contribute to the above objective is to refrain entirely from attempting to exercise its broadcasting regulatory mandate on online content generally, as well as from imposing any new reporting or other regulatory obligations on traditional broadcasters with respect to their own online activities.
