2012–13 Canadian network television schedule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2012–13 network television schedules for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2012 through May 2013. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2011–2012 season, for Canadian, American and other series.

CBC Television was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 10, 2012,[1][2][3][4] followed by Citytv on May 29, 2012[5] and Global on May 30, 2012;[6] this will be followed by CTV and CTV Two on May 31.[7] 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.
