Looking at the new programs in CBC English Television’s 2006-2007 program lineup, I see:
- two dramas set in Vancouver
- a comedy set in Toronto
- a miniseries set primarily in Montreal
- an imported reality series and a localized version of another
Where are the shows about Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador? Kingston, Ontario? Regina, Edmonton or Calgary? Iqaluit? Yellowknife? For a national broadcaster—one that, an executive recently stated, wants to find the next Corner Gas—the Ceeb continues to look awfully focused on the three major urban centres in this country.
