TORONTO – In an effort to attract new audiences, Bell Media is promoting some original series from their homes on two of its specialty services to its main CTV network.
Space's critically-acclaimed conspiracy thriller Orphan Black (pictured) and Bitten will air Saturdays back-to-back starting at 9:00 PM ET/PT beginning July 4, while Bravo’s original series 19-2 returns to CTV for its second season Wednesdays at 10:00 PM ET/PT, starting July 8.
Viewers can rewind to the beginning of all three series in advance of their CTV summer runs, with Season 1 of 19-2 and Bitten, along with Seasons 1 and 2 of Orphan Black streaming now in their entirety on CraveTV. Episodes of all three series will also be available on demand following each CTV broadcast at CTV.ca and on the CTV Go app.
"The summer scheduling of these hit specialty series on CTV is a strategic decision to get these addictive and high-quality series in front of the largest possible audience," said Phil King, president of CTV, sports, and entertainment programming, in the news release. "We've done CTV runs for previous seasons of these series, and this approach allows new viewers to sample these award-winning programs before they return for their new seasons on Space and Bravo."
