Bad news for people working in Canadian entertainment: TV ad revenue is dropping, and broadcasters are cutting back on original programming. Canada’s television broadcasters lost money in 2013 amid rapidly shrinking ad revenue, Canada’s telecom watchdog reported Tuesday. The CRTC said in an annual report that private local broadcasters as a whole lost money last year, with losses before interest and taxes of $2.3 million. The industry had eked out a narrow profit of $22.9 million a year earlier.

Every villain in the script required some level of visual effects, said Jerome Chen, senior visual effects supervisor for the film. About half of the 400-strong Sony Pictures Imagesworks special effects team involved in the film are based out of its studio in downtown Vancouver (the other studio is in L.A.).

Those fans set a record Wednesday, when an average audience of one million viewers tuned in to Game 5 on TSN, making it the most-watched Raptors game ever. More people watched the Toronto win than any of the three NHL Game 7s that were played on Canadian television Wednesday night.
