There's been a ton of announcements in Canadian TV over the past week or so -- pickups, cancellations and awards -- it's been hard to keep up with it all.
Here's a quick look at what's going on in televised CanCon:
- Global has begun production on Canada Sings!, a reality show that features workplace glee clubs competing to win money for charity. Featured glee clubs include those from Air Canada, Good Life Fitness, Hamilton Police, Scarborough general Hospital, the Keg and the Toronto Fire Department.
- Logo has officially picked up the second season of MTV Canada original series 1 Girl 5 Gays, to air stateside beginning February 7.
- CTV has cancelled cop drama the Bridge, which it had originally picked up for a second season. The network has committed, however, to developing new projects with producer Craig Bromell, actor Aaron Douglas and eOne.
- Global and ABC will simulcast a new coproduction this summer called Combat Hospital. The 13-episode series is set in a hospital at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan, following the lives of the hospital’s resident doctors and nurses from Canada, America, the UK and other allied countries.
- Degrassi is nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the 22nd Annual Glaad Media Awards.
- CTV has scheduled the season finale of Flashpoint to air in the high profile post-Superbowl timeslot. That's when FOX and Global will be airing a brand new much-hyped Glee, meaning most people will miss the season finale of Flashpoint.
- CBS, meanwhile, has finally committed to airing new episodes of Flashpoint stateside come the summer. Yay CanCon!
