In the Playback article ‘Who’s Minding the Store?’ (June 22) – after noting that The Listener’s initial ratings were a little soft – Christina Jennings is cited lamenting that Canada has ‘too few showrunners to fuel its drama-making machine.’ So if the ‘winning streak’ of Canadian shows airing in U.S. primetime stalls with The Listener, it seems we’re to understand that a lack of Canadian showrunning talent is to blame. I completely disagree with this conclusion – so let’s talk facts before pointing fingers.
