Kathleen Dore, President, Canadian Television for CanWest MediaWorks, along with Barbara Williams, Senior Vice President of Programming and Production, have announced last wednesday the Fall 2007 Primetime Schedules for the Global Television and E! networks.
"For both our advertisers and our audience, CanWest's 2007-2008 schedules represent our most impressive primetime offering to date," said Dore. "With a Fall season that features both the powerful return of Global Television, and the debut of the all-new E! network, CanWest is uniquely positioned to deliver an unparalleled primetime experience. We're passionate about the continued growth of our many television brands, and more determined than ever before to build strategically on the successes we've achieved over this last year."
In addition to 15 new series showcasing the season's tightest mix of starpower and award-winning writing/producing talent, the Global and E! primetime lineups unveiled today feature the return of breakout hits that have firmly re-established the networks' loyal fan base over the last two years. With a total of eight series back for their sophomore run - including smashes 'Heroes' and 'Brothers & Sisters' - and an additional six series returning for their third season - CanWest has created the country's freshest, most vibrant primetime lineups.
