Global Television

Global Television Network, wholly-owned by CanWest Global Communications Corp., broadcasts over-the-air via 11 television stations, licensed in eight provinces, and reaching 94% of English-speaking Canada. Global has continually led the industry in terms of ratings and profitability.

The network offers a solid programming mix aimed primarily at viewers aged 18 to 49, a strategy which has proven to be extremely successful. Global consistently scores more than half of the top ten programs in Canada, with major ratings hits such as the reality series Survivors, and sitcoms such as Friends, The Simpsons, and Will & Grace. Global's Canadian line-up includes reality series Popstars and Train 48 and police drama Blue Murder.

CanWest Global owns and operates three television stations - CH Hamilton, CH Vancouver Island and CH in Montreal, which are run as independent stations with a strong orientation to the local markets they serve and with distinct program schedules, separate from the Global Television Network. CH is designed to appeal to an older audience than Global, targeting an upscale 25-54 viewership.
