Citytv returns with a 2022/23 schedule chock-full of dominant
fan-favourite franchises, mega-star status celebrities, and proven
hits with built-in fandom, solidifying the network as Canada’s home
for TV’s biggest nights of the week.
“Loyal franchises create loyal audiences. Citytv, along with
Citytv+, continues to be the one-stop shop for some of the best
franchises for TV fans – like Bachelor, Chicago, Got Talent, Law
& Order, and Sons of Anarchy – all wrapped up with the
incredible star power across our shows,” said Julie Adam, President
of News & Entertainment, Rogers Sports & Media. “It’s never
been a better time to be a TV fan. This year’s schedule builds on
our investment to buy and create the content Citytv audiences want
and make it available whenever and wherever they are.”
“We’re building on the momentum from last season, creating an
even stronger foundation for every night of the week with iconic
brands and well-known franchises that cut through the clutter and
deeply resonate with Citytv audiences,” said Hayden Mindell, Vice
President, Programming & Acquisition, Rogers Sports &
Media. “With these new additions to the Citytv lineup, we’ve
created a schedule that is anchored by more consistent and reliable
programming throughout the year.”
“The modern TV viewer is growing increasingly complex as they
spend their time across linear, OTT, and Connected TV. With this
trusted, premium content, Citytv and Citytv+ connect deeply with
Canadians however they choose to watch, and combined with
innovative brand integrations, world-class data capabilities, and
the best Advanced Advertising solutions, our Total TV offerings
promise to drive tremendous impact for marketers,” said Al Dark,
Chief Revenue Officer, Rogers Sports & Media.
