YTV Launches Sunday Movie Block

TORONTO: The Big Fun Movies block on YTV makes its debut on January 2, offering three back-to-back films every Sunday starting at 2 p.m.

The block will be hosted by YTV’s on-air personality Laura, who played a news reporter on YTV’s System Crash. Big Fun Movies makes its debut on January 2 with Over the Hedge, followed by Ice Age and the Canadian premiere of Igor. Further titles to be featured throughout January include Garfield the Movie, Muppets Treasure Island, Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, The Neverending Story and The Mighty Ducks.

"Movies have always been a big draw for our audience, especially on the weekend, and Big Fun Movies is a terrific way to make Sunday afternoon and evening a destination for the best in family films," said Ted Ellis, the VP for kids and family programming at Corus Television. "Also, we couldn’t be happier to welcome Laura to the YTV family of hosts, as she takes the viewers’ movie experience to the next level with her fun intros and interstitials."
