There are still many, many programs available on CW Seed.  Most notably Whose Line, Schitt's Creek and Pushing Daisies.  It also streams programs 'live,' though they all look like repeats to me. David On Tuesday, March 9, 2021, 6:20:04 AM PST, Mark Jeffries wrote: There are two

There are two other free streamers owned by the OTA networks: PlutoTV is owned by ViacomCBS and has CBSN and linear channels of ViacomCBS content, if not day-after streaming. Fox Media owns Tubi, a traditional free streamer--due to existing contracts it can only do day-after streaming of

Ah yes, dodgy streams. The way I watch 90% of the cricket I see and a non-trivial amount of soccer, rugby league and AFL... As for drug ads, the ones we get in Canada are much more soft sell. We don't get the 15 seconds of benefits followed by 20 seconds of what dread diseases you can also get.

This was surprising news because the series had already been renewed for a sixth season. The URL is a little misleading since the show wasn't cancelled, it was the creators' decision to stop after this season, mainly so they could go on to other projects. CBC would probably have happily had the
