I had a lot of trouble completing this assignment, because I had to research Canadian TV shows and had to find the right time period for TV shows I found. Also I had to manage the time of each TV shows, so that it does not defy with Canadian Content regulations(60% of TV shows aired during Prime Time has to be Canadian).
I ensured my schedule would be engaging for a Canadian audiences, because I have incorporated many different TV shows which would attract different groups, such as age groups. I included news in my schedule for older adults, Jacob Two-Two for kids, ET and Canadian Idol for teens and Comedy Now for families. Also I spaced out the news so it does not bore the audience. I also included some non-Canadian yet popular TV shows, such as ET to engage Canadian audience to keep watching.
I believe that CanCon regulations are necessary, because it promotes Canadian TV shows to Canadians, ensuring safety of Canadian culture. Furthermore, most of popular TV shows are from other countries, and if there was no CanCon regulations, Canadians would have been swallowed by US or other countries' culture. Also by airing Canadian Shows, the audience will understand more of Canadian Culture.
