The 67th Annual Grammy Awards drew an overnight, estimated 1,416,000 viewers Sunday night on Citytv. That is down from the 1,760,000 who watched the Grammys live one year earlier on City.

What happens when you pick up your Rogers Ignite xfinity remote and give the command, “Flavour”? Up pops two links on your screen: one for CORUS’s rebranded Flavour Channel and the other for Rogers’ newly-acquired Food Network. Sneaky, huh? And, no, it doesn’t work the other way. Utter “Food Network” and all you get is
Starting now, it will cost Canadians $23.99 to subscribe each month to Netflix’s premium service. That’s a three dollar increase, (their first in two years). The US-based media giant claims that this increase is needed, goes the release, “so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix.” Plus CEO Ted Sarandos need a new hot
