CMT, Canada’s country entertainment specialty, is offering new programming this fall ranging from music to sitcoms.
The Wilkinson’s – House Raising, is a ‘fictionalized reality’ series which follows a musical family as they move from Nashville to a small town in Canada (air time TBA). Another entry is CMT Star, which gets up close and personal with country’s stars to examine their passions and pastimes. Both series are part of CMT’s 220 annual hours of original programming.
Also new to CMT this fall are dramedy Ed, about a lawyer who returns to his hometown (weeknights at 8 p.m.) and the venerable sitcom Roseanne (weeknights at 9:30 p.m.) CMT reaches eight million households and specializes in family-friendly programming, having broadened out from its origins as a music video channel.
