Upfronts: Citytv adds more comedies, picks up ‘Private Practice’

Citytv has announced its acquisitions for the 2011 Fall schedule. The network has picked up a number of series from other Canadian networks, including Private Practice (from ‘A’ – soon to be CTV Two) and Raising Hope (from Global). They’ve also picked up The Middle to make their ABC Wednesday night simulcast complete. The network has also announced new Canadian versions of America’s Got Talent and Secret Millionaire: Canada’s Got Talent and Secret Millionaire Canada for 2012. Showtime’s Shameless (which aired earlier this year on The Movie Network) will also get a second run on Citytv during midseason. Citytv has done really well in the past two seasons by picking up a number of comedies from How I Met Your Mother to the Wednesday and Thursday night staples from both ABC and NBC – they’re keeping it up this fall with 2 Broke Girls, New Girl and Apartment 23. Also new on their original programming front is Dussault Inc, a reality series about Canadian streetwear designer Jason Dussault. Noticeably missing is Parenthood — hopefully it’ll turn up on either CTV Two or Global.
