BROADCAST DIALOGUE - April 2005

The Voice of Broadcasting in Canada, “CSUA Conference”

HDTV production in Canada is getting off the ground slowly. But at the Content session, Stonehenge Media Group President Glyn Evans announced that his company was working on an HD series for VisionTV. Stonehenge is working with VisionTV on its first reality series shot, mastered and delivered in HD. Entitled Prenup Challenge, the six 30-minute episodes are billed as “Temptation Island meets The Newlywed Game”, a marriage preparation course complete with a series of compatibility tests that ask the tough questions every couple should consider before getting married (though few actually do). And VisionTV is also producing two more series in HD, entitled Gospel Challenge and Shrines, according to Joan Jenkinson, director of programming for VisionTV and One: the Body, Mind and Spirit channel, programmed by VisionTV.
