The Canadian pubcaster is rolling out CBC Kids News, a digital-first platform designed to improve media literacy among children.
In her first major address to the industry since starting as president and CEO of CBC, Catherine Tait outlined the pubcaster’s vision for its OTT programming future.
This is CBC’s first dive into long-term news series on Snapchat, as opposed to event-centered programming.
Moze Mossanen’s You Are Here: A Come From Away Story and V71’s Street Spirits also set debut dates, plus more.
Lindo will spearhead the pubcaster’s OTT content strategies and oversee its slate of original digital content for all platforms.
The upcoming drama, exec produced by showrunner Floyd Kane, has added a raft of new faces like Wynonna Earp‘s Tim Rozon to its cast.
The drama got the greenlight for a third season, prior to its season two premiere on CBC this fall.
The Temple Street-produced series hails from comedians Andrew Bush and Mark Little.
The family drama is CBC’s first hour-long scripted series to reach the milestone.
Manifold Pictures’ sci-fi for Hollywood Suite was the only drama to receive funding, while projects from Zacharias Kunuk and Norman Cohn’s Kingulliit Productions also received support.
