Canadian Fall 2008 TV schedules --- Part 1: The Major Networks - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When I first saw this thread I sort of skimmed through, but now looking I am happy that Secret Life of the American Teenager will be on City TV. I just ordered that channel a couple weeks ago and even have the HD counterpart.

Sal, do you know how the episode airings are going to work? Because I have been watching online after each Tuesday's episode is uploaded and don't want to watch reruns but I guess I will have to wait until City catches up right?

I have checked this out and I saw that CITY will premiere the show on Wed. Sept. 3rd which, if I'm not mistaken, will put it about 10 episodes behind their American counterpart, so it would take about a couple of months to catch up.

Thanks for the info, I guess I will just continue to watch on the Internet and then hopefully they will start season 2 at the same time.

Thanks for the info! Funny, but here in Seattle we can get CBC and we watch it all the time!

That's strange, my CBC does not carry the show but City TV will later so it is ok.

If you are in Seattle, why not just watch on ABC Family?

CTS operates stations in Ontario and Alberta, where it owns studios in Calgary and Edmonton. During the afternoon, it shows reruns of classic sitcoms and dramas that they feel are suitable for family audiences. As of Sept. 1, their lineup will look like this:

6:00 AM to 3:30 PM Religious programming and talk shows

3:30 PM The Hogan Family/Saved By The Bell (after Christmas)
4:00 The Facts Of Life
4:30 Family Matters
5:00 7th Heaven (also shown at 7 pm on weekends)
6:00 Family Ties
6:30 Full House
7:00 Laverne and Shirley
7:30 Happy Days

8:00 PM to 6:00 AM More religious programming and talk shows

Overall, it's not bad but not great either. The best you can say is that there should be something for everyone's liking.

This takes care of Canadian fall schedules Part 1. I'll begin Part 2 next week.

hey Sal !

What happened to "The Hogan Family" on CTS? I know they made some changes but what happened to The Hogan Family?

Do they even have the rights to show it later on?

To y2kjoker:

I'm not sure what happened with The Hogan Family. The schedule that I saw was the one that I was sure they were going to use, but, as you know, TV stations can sometimes change their mind and that's what obviously happened, as you can see here:

The full, official CTS schedule can be seen here.

Notice that if you scroll right to the bottom of the page below the station's address you will see a note which says, "Programs subject to change without notice." That's true of any channel at any time, as TV Land fans can tell you, but it would be nicer if they let the viewers know before it happens.
