Television In Canada
Television in Canada officially began with the sign-on of the nation's first television stations in Montreal and Toronto in 1952. As with most media in Canada, the television industry, and the television programming available in that country, are strongly influenced by media in the United States, perhaps to an extent not seen in any other major industrialized nation. As a result, the government institutes quotas for "Canadian content". Nonetheless, new content is often aimed at a broader North American audience, although the similarities may be less pronounced in the predominantly French-language province of Quebec. History Development of television The first experimental television broadcast began in 1932 in Montreal, Quebec, under the call sign of VE9EC. The broadcasts of VE9EC were broadcast in 60 to 150 lines of resolution at 41 MHz. This service closed around 1935, and the outbreak of World War II put a halt to television experiments.

This Is Pop (TV Series)
''This Is Pop'' is a Canadian documentary television series, which aired on CTV Television Network in 2021. Produced by Banger Films and similar to the format of the company's earlier documentary series ''Metal Evolution'', ''Rock Icons'' and ''Hip-Hop Evolution'', the eight-episode series presents a history of pop music. The series was designed thematically rather than chronologically, so that episodes could be viewed in any order; when the series was added to Netflix for international distribution, it was designed so that whichever episode the service's algorithms deemed most likely to be of interest to each individual viewer was recommended first. The series premiered March 6, 2021 on CTV, and was released internationally by Netflix in June. The series received two Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022, for Best Biography or Arts Documentary and Best Direction in a Documentary Series ( Jared Raab for "Auto-Tune").Brent Furdyk"2022 Canadia ...
