2007-11-22 Television Writers strike may help the CBC

The ongoing strike by the Writers Guild of America which is quickly turning American prime time into a sort of rerun purgatory has led U. S. networks to cast their gazes north for fresh programming while giving CBC-TV a chance to win over new Canadian viewers.

And the network also announced a mini-coup in the ratings war with CTV and Global by acquiring rights to popular syndicated U. S. quiz shows

Whod have thought that we would have benefited from a strike someone elses strike" Kirstine Layfield, the CBCs executive director of network programming, said yesterday at the public broadcasters first winter season launch event.
