Rogers Media properties reached more than 96 percent of Canadians last season\u2014and we&#8217;re ready to welcome them back this year to be entertained with even more of what they love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The draw of the characters and the caliber of storytelling was the key to our success last season\u2014<em>Lethal Weapon<\/em>\u00a0is a great example,&#8221; added Colette Watson, senior VP of television and broadcast operations. &#8220;Powered by the strength of the movie franchise, stellar cast, and fresh stories, the series boosted the previous timeslot by 169 percent. We made some strategic refinements to our schedule for 2017-18 and we expect the creative pedigree behind some of these new titles to have a similar impact.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rogers Media has unveiled the 2017-18 schedule of its City channel, which will debut the original Canadian mob drama Bad Blood this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":2262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[212,321],"class_list":["post-2261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-city","tag-rogers-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
