Back in Sept, MIC reported that Global Television planned to air a pilot for The Jane Show, starring Second City alumnus Teresa Pavlinek, and now it has an airdate, Dec. 15. Global calls it The Office meets Sex in the City as Jane and her best friend deal with dating, job stress, love, and the weirdos they work with.
Global says they’re courting an 18-49 demo, adding that advertising and sponsorship opportunities exist. The Jane Show premieres in Manitoba/Saskatchewan at 7:30 p.m., Ontario/Quebec/British Columbia at 8:30 p.m. and the Maritimes/Alberta at 9:30 p.m. Based on the success of the pilot, Global will decide whether or not it will purchase further episodes.
