Heads up for Canadian Corrie fans!The news from the Toronto Star this morning is that your favourite game shows, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy are not coming back in the fall season but not to fear, Coronation Street isn't going anywhere.
While all the federal spending cuts have hit the news here this week, CBC is trimming and the game shows have very expensive license fees.
Spokesperson Christine Wilson, the director of content planning says: "Unofficially I can tell you Coronation Street is coming back. If it didn’t come back, something would happen on Parliament Hill."
She's probably right!

Lucky for the CBC! There would be rioting in the streets of Canada if Corrie was EVER cancelled!!

riight. I've been watching Coronation Street since it started (I grew up in Britain), there are a few things I dont like about it nowadays but I still watch it. I liked Bet Lynch as the barmaid and was disapointed when Nick Tilsley got killed off. (cant they bring him back as a twin?) Corrie is a show I never miss.
