Series Promo

Producer Jordana Ross has been hard at work on this series as shooting started (the pilot) in June of 2006 in the Vancouver studios and the season wrapped in March 2007 in Toronto [just in time to catch Their Majesties]. Congrats to Jordana on seeing this get to air.

The Bad News (until…)
Unfortunately you will need satellite or digital cable to be able to watch these shows (well until someone puts them on a torrent site). If you do have one such service you can find CBC Country Canada on Rogers 277 , Cogeco 166 , ExpressView 641 , StarChoice 512 , Shaw 96 & Videotron 106 (for more service providers see http://cbccountrycanada.ca/CountryCanada.pdf).
Unless we are warned otherwise I may see about posting the torrents to any shows that turn up too.
I personally would rather be able to see the show than not - although this is partially having me consider digital cable and a DVR unit.

Regardless, episodes air Wednesdays at 6pm, 10pm & midnight ET. Episodes will repeat on Sunday at 5am ET and Monday at 3am ET. For more information about In Session (or if you caught last night’s show and want to let her know what you thought) contact Jordana Ross at jordana_ross@cbc.ca
