Stay tuned for more news on the casting!
Although so far the only TV stations in Canada that seems to play Home and Away episodes is the Global TV Network (Canada-wide). They are showing reruns from the year 2000 (in fact they just showed the 2000 season ended with Ailsa having a heart attack). Here is some neat info on home and away in Canada. Although it might not be 100% accurate (maybe 50% as I discovered this info while trying to find stations that air the episodes in Canada). Did you know that the two hour beginning episode was first shown in Canada in 1988? It was used to launch the Canadian TV channel called Youth Television (YTV) a station that is still on today. At that time they were only a few months behind from what was airing in Australia. They ran the show until around 1990 when it lost interest with the viewers. They then reran the first couple of years(1988/89) in 1995/1996 (one to two hour length) but it was late at night and was replaced in 1997 with different programming. I thought the show was cancelled until I discovered on the web (1997) how many episodes were made and are being made in Australia. I then waited until the show would appear again in Canada. It was a 5 year wait. After that it seems the show was not on TV in Canada until Global TV picked it up in 2002 with the H&A 2000 season. It's been a pain because I've had to switch to 2 different global stations (as each one seems to cancel the show without notice) The one station that still shows it is called CHBC. It's out of Kelowna (a small city in the interior of British Columbia Canada). How long will the show be on in Canada is anybody's guess. The show is not popular with Canadians. I don't know why because
I think it's a lot better than the soaps we get from the states
(but that is my The CBC (Canada's main Broadcasting corporation) has been airing Coronation Street for year and that show is very popular in this country. If H&A gets cancelled again I think I'm going to try to convince CBC to air it. After all CBC is funded by Canadian Tax dollars:) I hope this info helps Thanks created 6 May 1999 © 1998-2003 Home and Away.org |
