HAMILTON – For the first time on North American television, Frank Underwood schemes his way to political gain in the uber-popular Netflix series House Of Cards.
As well, critically-acclaimed dramas The Americans, Sleepy Hollow, and The Strain are on the CHCH schedule as well as Empire.
The premiere event of the broadcast year takes place on Wednesday, September 13, as Kevin Spacey takes his iconic Frank Underwood character to primetime in House Of Cards. Airing two episodes back-to-back each week as a "mini-binge", it's a first for conventional television in North America, and Canadian viewers will see it only on CHCH, says the company’s release. The premiere of House of Cards, as well as Empire, is supported by an extensive media campaign in the Toronto market booked with media agency Cairns Oneil.
CHCH will also launch a new sci-fi docudrama on Monday, September 11 with the premiere of Mars. The six-part miniseries is a National Geographic production about humanity's first crewed mission to Mars, blending feature film-caliber scripted elements set in the future with documentary interviews with today's best and brightest minds in modern science, reads the release.
CHCH will also continue to be the home to newsmagazines 20/20, 48 Hours, Nightline, and 60 Minutes and last but 
certainly not least, CHCH will continue its formula of retro fan-favourites in the afternoon. Batman leads the charge with the adventures of the original dynamic duo (starring Burt Ward & the late Adam West) weekdays at 4pm. Immediately following the classic Caped Crusader is a stellar lineup of classic television sitcoms: Bewitched, The Partridge Family, And The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
