The 2016–17 network television schedule for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2016 through August 2017. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2015-16 television season, for Canadian, American and other series.
CBC Television was first to announce its fall schedule on May 26, 2016,[1] followed by CTV and CTV Two,[2] as well as City on May 30, 2016,[3] and Global on June 9, 2016.[4] As in the past, the commercial networks' announcements come shortly after the networks have had a chance to buy Canadian rights to new American series.
CTV Two and Global are not included on Saturday as they do not carry network programming.
Schedule[edit]
- New series are highlighted in bold. Series that have changed network are not highlighted as new series.
- All times given are in Canadian Eastern Time and Pacific Time (except for some live events or specials).
- Most CBC programming airs at the same local time in all time zones, except Newfoundland time (add 30 minutes).
- For commercial stations in the Central Time Zone, subtract one hour.
- For commercial stations in the Atlantic and Mountain time zones, add one hour for programming between 8:00 and 10:00 PM. Programs airing at 10:00 PM ET/PT will generally air at 8:00 PM local on stations in these areas. For viewers in the Newfoundland time zone, add an additional 30 minutes to the Atlantic time schedule.
- Notwithstanding the above, timeslots may occasionally vary further in some areas due to local simultaneous substitution considerations, compliance with watershed restrictions, or other factors.
