INTERESTS

Comments: Please independently contact Diane Boehme regarding Drama. We do not pre-license educational programming, children and youth programming or game shows.

Length of Programs:

Half hour programs, One hour programs, Ninety minutes or more

Comments: We prefer one off's and series. Series are usually 13 x 1/2 hours, one off's are usually 1 hour in length. The feature length documentary is rare but we are open to it if the subject matter warrants the
length.

Broad Subjects of Interest:

Biographies, Music & Arts, Science Fiction

Comments:

Bravo! Canada: Arts (music, visual art, dance, theatre) related documentaries - one off's or series. Think more classical than pop.

Space: The Imagination Station: Space related documentaries focusing fun, speculative and quirky, less on science.

StarTV: Mandate is to support and promote Canadian star system. Gossip & star related information. Fun and light content.

Specifically Looking For:

Bravo - profiles on Canadian artists, musicians and filmmakers that are established within Canada, interesting and compelling stories that are arts driven not social issue driven. If subject matter is non Canadian, there must be a Canadian angle to the story.

Space - fun and quirky stories, speculative and original documentaries that will interest our viewers.

StarTV - entertaining stories that promote the Canadian star system.
