While I’ve made no secret about how well I think CBC has been doing the past couple of seasons, I’m excited to see that a LOT of americans will soon be seeing so many of our great products too!
In the upcoming 2010-2011 television season, the Canadian network will be all over the states like me to a McLobster. Â In case you don’t know, that a lot!
CBC’s biggest hit is Heartland and when it makes its USA debut this fall, it will be available in more than 94% of american homes. CBS, Tribune, Sinclair, Hearst and Lin station groups have all acquired the rights to air the show that is filmed here in Alberta. I’m a little nervous about how the story of a teenage horse whisperer will transfer to the States, but if the media gets behind the family friendly show, it should be able to find happier trails. Â (Get it, see what I did there?)
Steven and Chris will also have to make sure their passports are updated when they start their american media tour. Â Their show, aptly named Steven and Chris will be making it’s american debut this fall too. Â The home-decorating gurus will debut in 30 U.S. markets, including San Francisco, Sacramento, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis. Â Not bad for a show that was canceled and then brought back by CBC just a few seasons ago!
And of course I can’t forget about shows like Being Erica and 18 to Life that have already made really successful transitions to Obama-world.
And if Men With Brooms looks as funny as the trailer, CBC should be able to find success on both sides of the border!
