NBC pacing behind in Olympics ad sales
Tuesday November 17th 2009With fewer than 90 days left before the Olympic torch arrives at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, NBC Universal still has a solid chunk of inventory left to sell. And while the ad marketplace has begun showing signs of life in the past few weeks, the Peacock faces an uphill climb if it is to hit its volume target.

‘Flashpoint’ takes top honours at 2009 Gemini Awards celebrating top Canadian TV
Monday November 16th 2009Producers of the cross-border hit “Flashpoint” held it up as an example of what Canadian television is capable of as the slick CTV cop drama took home three Gemini Awards on Saturday, including best drama. Canadians can be less than supportive when it comes to watching homegrown shows on the small screen.

Systems ‘go’ for stop-motion animation
Friday November 13th 2009While the animation industry carefully watches the fate of Disney’s hand-drawn “The Princess and the Frog” to see if traditional toon techniques can compete in a CG-dominated industry, another old-school style — stop-motion animation — has been making a comeback.
