TV, eh? podcast episode 195 – Purveyor of Nog

With the end of 2015 in sight, Diane, Anthony and Greg remark on the shows ending their seasons over the next few weeks, including the season finales of This Life and The Romeo Section and the series finales of Blackstone and Haven.

We then switch gears to chat about CBC’s latest in-development project, Jeff Lemire’s Essex County, the end of Bitten and the results of the Favourite Canadian TV Shows of 2015 poll. Finally, we discuss the sweeping changes happening over at CHCH, where hundreds were let go and deep programming cuts took place. For more details, read Steve Faguy’s post from Dec. 11.
