The CBC used to run an elaborate press release for the fall schedule. Now the public broadcaster has to hide the fall schedule because of the excessive number of American shows from Fox. Apparently Joel McHale is an honourary Canadian (he isn't).
We don't have a breakdown of when a show ends in a timeslot. Still aren't mindreaders.
Based from the 2024 CBC television upfront, the good stuff comes in winter. Fall programming is not a priority at the CBC.
Murdoch Mysteries (October 7; September 30 on CBC Gem), Plan B (October 7; streaming now on CBC Gem), This Hour Has 22 Minutes (September 17), Still Standing (October 8), The Passionate Eye (September 18), Dragons' Den (September 26), Marketplace (October 11), About That with Andrew Chang (September 20), The Fifth Estate (October 11), Hockey Night in Canada (October 12), Heartland (October 6; September 29 on CBC Gem), and The Great Canadian Baking Show (October 6) all return to the CBC television lineup.

Years worth of work. The story of so many First Nations families. We always knew about the children, youth and adults who went missing at Indian Residential Schools, inside Indian Hospitals and at TB sanitariums. The Knowing.

Season 2 of Plan B has already been on CBC Gem. Season 2 has a whole new cast with Vinessa Antoine and Vincent Leclerc in the lead roles. This is one of the rare times of late that the CBC has scheduled a Canadian TV show after Murdoch Mysteries on Monday nights.
The Knowing is a multimedia presentation by journalist, filmmaker, and Anishinaabe author Tanya Talaga "on a quest to find the truth of what happened to the women in her maternal family, revealing a story intertwined with Canada's Indian Residential School system."
The book came out August 27. The documentary series has a screening during the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, and the TV program premieres September 25 on CBC and CBC Gem.
Paid In Full is about the "journey of Black artists in the music industry from its inception to the digital streaming age." Jully Black handles the narration.
As we noted, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee joins the cast of Murdoch Mysteries this fall.
There is way too much foreign filler in the CBC television fall lineup.

We had a lot of Canadian film related type programming on the CBC last fall: Bones of Crows, Blackberry, and Swan Song.
Season 2 of SkyMed ran last fall. We know there will be a Season 3. There aren't cancellations based off last fall's schedule, just shows not meant to last beyond a season.
