Cuts in funding to the Canadian Television Fund, the Canadian government’s mechanism for funding Canadian television will mean several longstanding shows will go off the air. “In all, 129 productions – 64% of all applicants – were denied funding from the CTF’s Licence Fee Program, which contributes 20% of a show’s budget. Seventy-three productions combined to receive a total of $75-million in funding, including Trailer Park Boys, Da Vinci’s Inquest and Blue Murder.”
