CBC has been in the news a lot lately, and not always for the right reasons. There was the whole Don Cherry dismissal, and this week the cancelation of three-year-old series Anne with an E. I had over 100 “ok boomer” tweets Wednesday from young fans of the series just for pointing out that Anne’s

CBC’s second female-driven law series premiere of the week didn’t get the verdict it was hoping for. Diggstown bowed to 338,000 estimated, overnight viewers Wednesday, slightly less than Street Legal‘s Monday estimate of 376,000. Keep in mind both numbers could jump by a third or higher once the Live+7 total data is tallied by Numeris.
