[via press release from Citytv]

Better. Every. Day. Citytv Unveils Strongest Prime-Time Schedule for 2012-13 Season

- Most returning new shows of any Canadian network anchor bold, competitive Citytv schedule -

- 9 new comedies, 4 new dramas, 1 hit reality franchise series, and this year's most buzzed-about daytime show join Citytv's hot programming lineup -

- 2 original comedies greenlit for mid-season -

- Newly-acquired favourite Jimmy Kimmel Live! joins late-night lineup -

- Trio of English-language hits join OMNI Television's schedule -

TORONTO, May 29, 2012 - Coming off its most successful broadcast year in network history, Citytv's momentum continues with this year's most sought-after new programs joining an already proven winning prime-time lineup. Scott Moore, President of Broadcast, Rogers Media, today unveils Citytv's 2012-13 fall and mid-season prime-time schedule, showcasing 9 new comedies, 4 new dramas, 1 hit reality franchise series, the acquisition of late-night's 'it' show, and the triumphant return of award-winning journalist - and fan-favourite - Katie Couric to daytime television.

Citytv is building upon last year's ambitious - and highly successful - fall schedule, in which 67 per cent of new programs are returning (the most of any Canadian network), while every returning show from last season ended the year with stronger audiences than when they started. This year's Citytv prime-time schedule is a mix of proven winners with fresh new series featuring a star-studded pedigree of actors, producers and writers, with 20 series in simulcast. The 2012-13 Citytv schedule represents the best network television has to offer.

"Citytv's prime-time schedule is the strongest - and most competitive - in network history with critically-acclaimed fan-favourites, proven winners from last season, and the most buzzed about new series with both big-name stars and fresh faces. Our schedule is better every day," said Scott Moore, President of Broadcast, Rogers Media. "With Citytv's expanded footprint, we will be in nine million homes this fall, reaching more viewers in more homes than ever before. And we're not done yet. Our goal of delivering our world-class content to a national audience is firmly within our grasp."

Comedies continue to reign supreme on Citytv featuring six nights of powerhouse comedy blocks with the most critically-acclaimed and popular series. Citytv's strength in this genre is undeniable. Joining proven winners from last season, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, Suburgatory, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, and Last Man Standing are four hilarious new situational comedies for the fall season from the funniest minds in the industry: Partners, Ben and Kate, The Mindy Project, and Malibu Country. For mid-season, five new boundary-pushing comedies join the roster: 1600 Penn, The Goodwin Games, and How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life), plus Citytv original comedies Package Deal and Seed (see separate announcement).

Red-hot funny-man Jimmy Kimmel is the 'it' guy of the year, and Citytv has bolstered its late-night lineup with the addition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, airing weekdays at 12 midnight ET in simulcast.

In dramas, Citytv had the surprise sleeper-hit of the season in the ever-popular Revenge. Joining other returning favourites Person of Interest and Scandal are four riveting and suspenseful series; Revolution and 666 Park Avenue this fall, while Hannibal and The Carrie Diaries will air mid-season.

Reality television heats up on Citytv this fall as bachelor Brad Smith looks for love in all the right places in the first-ever edition of The Bachelor Canada. Helping Brad on his journey with 25 Canadian bachelorettes is Tyler Harcott, announced today as Host of the series (see separate announcement).

Citytv continues to invest in daytime programming, building upon its winning original daytime series Breakfast Television (Canada's #1 morning show in major English markets) and CityLine (Canada's longest-running lifestyle show). With the addition of Katie - the most anticipated new daytime talk show in recent years with proven network star Katie Couric - Citytv is poised to dominate in this genre. Katie will premiere this fall, airing weekdays at 4 p.m. ET in simulcast.

Another award-winning journalist joins the schedule - this time on sister-network OMNI Television - enriching the network's robust news offering. The trusted and compelling Rock Center with Brian Williams airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET in simulcast, beginning this fall. Also joining OMNI Television this fall is proven hit comedy series Rules of Engagement in strip at 7 and 7:30 p.m. ET, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, in simulcast at 12:35 a.m. ET.

With web, digital, and mobile traffic increasing heavily this past year, Rogers is firmly committed to further enhancing the viewer experience through multiple screens and Anyplace TV. This fall, Citytv is taking two socially-engaged series - New Girl and The Middle - and for the first time, making them available to advertisers on all screens - television, online, mobile and tablet - with the same commercial inventory, sold as one buy.

NEW COMEDIES - FALL

PARTNERS

Monday 8:30 p.m. (s)

Partners is a comedy based on the lives of creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick (creators of Will & Grace), about two life-long best friends and business partners whose "bromance" is tested when one of them is engaged to be married. Joe (David Krumholtz, Numb3rs) is an accomplished architect who leads with his head and not his heart, especially in his love life. That's in stark contrast to his gay co-worker, Louis (Michael Urie, Ugly Betty), who is spontaneous, emotional and prone to exaggeration. Both have found joy in their love lives: Joe is newly engaged to Ali (Sophia Bush, One Tree Hill), a beautiful and sophisticated jewellery designer, while Louis is dating Wyatt (Brandon Routh, Superman Returns), a vegan nurse who Louis insists is just a promotion away from becoming a doctor. As news of Joe's engagement settles, time will tell if their business and personal bond can adapt to the addition of two other important relationships. PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Warner Bros. Television CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: David Kohan, Max Mutchnick EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: James Burrows (pilot) CAST: David Krumholtz as Joe, Michael Urie as Louis, Sophia Bush as Ali, Brandon Routh as Wyatt

BEN AND KATE

Tuesday 8:30 p.m. (s)

What happens when an exuberant, irresponsible dreamer who always says "yes" moves in with his overly responsible little sister to help raise her five-year-old daughter? Ben and Kate, a new single-camera young ensemble comedy, follows these odd-couple siblings as they push each other out of their comfort zones and into real life. Kate Fox (Dakota Johnson, The Social Network) followed the rules all her life... until she got pregnant in college and dropped out just shy of graduation. After the birth of her daughter, Maddie (Maggie Jones, We Bought a Zoo, Footloose), Kate put her twenties on hold. Now working as a bar manager to make ends meet and maximize her time with five-year-old Maddie, she's uber-prepared for every possible catastrophe - except for the arrival of her older brother, Ben Fox (Nat Faxon, Bad Teacher). Ben likes trouble a lot more than his sister does. When Ben comes to crash on Kate's couch for a few days, he finds a sad state of affairs. Kate's surviving, but not living. Ben realizes that for the first time in their lives, Kate needs his help and he's determined to bring some much-needed chaos into her overly stable world. Always there to help with Ben's crazy schemes is his partner-in-crime, Tommy (newcomer Echo Kellum), who worships Ben like a hero and nurses a serious crush on Kate. Kate's British best friend, BJ (Lucy Punch, Bad Teacher), is a cocktail waitress at the bar that Kate manages and an all-around hot mess who would do anything for Kate, even if her advice is often questionable and occasionally illegal. From writer/executive producer Dana Fox (New Girl, What Happens in Vegas) and executive producer/director Jake Kasdan (New Girl, Bad Teacher), Ben and Kate is a heart-warming story of deeply mismatched siblings: a sister who needs to go for her dreams and a brother who needs to get his head out of the clouds. PRODUCTION COMPANIES: 20th Century Fox Television, Chernin Entertainment CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Dana Fox EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Peter Chernin, Katherine Pope EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: Jake Kasdan CAST: Dakota Johnson as Kate, Nat Faxon as Ben, Maggie Jones as Maddie, Lucy Punch as BJ, Echo Kellum as Tommy

THE MINDY PROJECT

Tuesday 9:30 p.m. (s)

The Mindy Project is a new single-camera comedy from Emmy Award(R)-nominated writer/producer and New York Times best-selling author Mindy Kaling (The Office) that follows a woman who, despite having a successful career, desperately needs to break bad habits in her personal life. Funny, impatient and politically incorrect, Mindy Lahiri (Kaling) can quote every romantic comedy starring Meg Ryan that exists. Mindy is determined to be more punctual, spend less money, lose weight and read more books - all in pursuit of becoming a well-rounded perfect woman... who can meet and date the perfect guy. Mindy is a skilled OB/GYN and shares a practice with a few other doctors, none of whom make life any easier for her. Jeremy Reed (British writer/comedian Ed Weeks) is the walking definition of total bad news. He not only shares a practice with Mindy, but sometimes her bed as well - despite her best efforts to resist. He is funny, self-absorbed and super sexy. In contrast, Danny Castellano (Chris Messina, Damages) is a hothead and guys' guy who has a habit of stealing Mindy's patients. Danny criticizes her for everything, including her struggling love life and her lack of professionalism - even though it's obvious to everyone except Mindy that he secretly admires her work. Rounding out the office staff are the receptionists - Betsy Putch (Zoe Jarman, Huge), young, earnest and easily excitable, who thinks the world of Mindy and is always trying to impress her; and Shauna Dicanio (newcomer Dana DeLorenzo), a self-assured Jersey Girl who is indifferent to Mindy, always knows where the cool party is and carries a poorly concealed torch for Danny. Mindy is in constant communication with her beloved best friend from college, Gwen Grandy (Anna Camp, The Good Wife), who also happens to be the governor's daughter. As Mindy attempts to get her career off the ground and meet a guy who passes her red flag test (no drug habits, no skinny jeans and no secret families, among others), only time will tell if she gets her romantic comedy ending. PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Universal Television, 3 Arts Entertainment CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Mindy Kaling EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Howard Klein, B.J. Novak (pilot) EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: Charles McDougall (pilot) CAST: Mindy Kaling as Mindy, Chris Messina as Danny, Ed Weeks as Jeremy, Anna Camp as Gwen, Zoe Jarman as Betsy, Dana DeLorenzo as Shauna

MALIBU COUNTRY

Sunday 8 p.m.

When Reba Gallagher (Reba McEntire, Reba) discovers that her husband, Bobby, (Jeffrey Nordling, Desperate Housewives) a country music legend, has a cheatin' heart, her world is turned upside down. Reba dreamt of becoming a country star herself, but put her career on hold to raise a family. Now she's questioning all of that, big-time. With the ink on her divorce barely dry, Reba packs up her sharp-tongued mother, Lillie May (Lily Tomlin, Eastbound and Down, West Wing), her two kids and the U-Haul and heads for sunny California to begin a new chapter. Leaving Nashville in the rear view, they start over at their Malibu residence - the last remaining asset they have. Reba gets to know her new open and loving neighbour Kim (Sara Rue, Rules of Engagement, Less Than Perfect) and her son, Sage (Hudson Thames), but also discovers that relocation to Southern California is going to be quite an adjustment for a traditional southern belle. With the support of her family, she sets about finding her voice, jump-starting her music career with the help of her new music agent, Geoffrey (Jai Rodriguez, How I Met Your Mother, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy), and embracing this chance to begin again. PRODUCTION COMPANY: ABC Studios CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Kevin Abbott EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Kevin Abbott, Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: John Pasquin (pilot) CAST: Reba McEntire as Reba, Sara Rue as Kim, Justin Prentice as Cash, Juliette Angelo as June, Jai Rodriguez as Geoffrey, Lily Tomlin as Lillie May

NEW DRAMAS - FALL

REVOLUTION

Monday 10 p.m. (s)

Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future. From director Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Iron Man 2) and the fertile imaginations of J.J. Abrams (Lost, Person of Interest) and Eric Kripke (Supernatural), comes a surprising "what if" action-adventure series, where an unlikely hero will lead the world out of the dark. Literally. PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Bad Robot Productions, Kripke Enterprises and Warner Bros. Television CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Jon Favreau, J.J. Abrams, Eric Kripke EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Jon Favreau, J.J Abrams, Eric Kripke, Bryan Burk EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: Jon Favreau (pilot) CAST: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Anna Lise Phillips, Zak Orth, Graham Rogers, J.D. Pardo, Giancarlo Esposito, David Lyons, Maria Howell, and Tim Guinee.

666 PARK AVENUE

Sunday 10 p.m. (s)

At the ominous address of 666 Park Avenue, anything you desire can be yours. Everyone has needs, desires and ambition. For the residents of The Drake, these will all be met, courtesy of the building's mysterious owner, Gavin Doran (Terry O'Quinn, Lost). But every Faustian contract comes with a price. When Jane Van Veen (Rachael Taylor, Transformers) and Henry Martin (Dave Annable, Brothers & Sisters), an idealistic young couple from the Midwest, are offered the opportunity to manage the historic building, they not only fall prey to the machinations of Doran and his mysterious wife, Olivia (Vanessa Williams, Ugly Betty), but unwittingly begin to experience the shadowy, supernatural forces within the building that imprison and endanger the lives of the residents inside. Sexy, seductive and inviting, The Drake maintains a dark hold over all of its residents, tempting them through their ambitions and desires, in this chilling new drama that's home to an epic struggle of good versus evil. 666 Park Avenue was based on the book series by Gabriella Pierce. PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Alloy Entertainment CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: David Wilcox EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: David Wilcox, Matthew Miller, Leslie Morgenstein, Gina Girolamo, Alex Graves EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: Alex Graves (pilot) CAST: Rachael Taylor as Jane Van Veen, Dave Annable as Henry Martin, Robert Buckley as Brian Leonard, Mercedes Masohn as Louise Leonard, Helena Mattsson as Alexis Blume, Samantha Logan as Nona Clark, with Vanessa Williams as Olivia Doran and Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran

NEW COMEDIES - MID-SEASON

1600 PENN

The Gilchrists are just the average American family dealing with all the everyday issues - like a grown kid who's forced to move back home, children who are smarter than their teachers, and a stepmom (Jenna Elfman, Dharma and Greg) desperately trying to win over the kids. They're loving, fun and a little crazy. In other words, just like everybody else. With one exception: they live in a very special house. The White House! Whether it's entertaining foreign dignitaries, sneaking away for a night out, dealing with middle school crushes or putting out fires - figuratively and sometimes literally - there's never a dull moment in the Gilchrist White House. For example, the First Son (Josh Gad, star of Broadway sensation The Book of Mormon) is one of the administration's biggest liabilities, but also the glue that holds this family together. The President (Bill Pullman, Independence Day) knows too well that the only thing harder than being Head of State is being head of the family. Modern Family meets The West Wing in this election-year comedy from Emmy(R)-winning executive producer/director Jason Winer (Modern Family). PRODUCTION COMPANIES: 20th Century Fox CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Jason Winer, Josh Gad, Jon Lovett EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: Jason Winer CAST: Jenna Elfman, Bill Pullman, Josh Gad, Martha MacIsaac (Canadian), Andre Holland, Amara Miller, Benjamin Stockham

HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS (FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE)

Polly (Sarah Chalke, Mad Love, Scrubs) is a single mom who's been divorced for almost a year. The transition wasn't easy for her, especially in this economy. So, like a lot of young people living in this new reality, she and her daughter, Natalie (Rachel Eggleston), have moved back home with her eccentric parents, Elaine (Elizabeth Perkins, Weeds) and Max (Brad Garrett, Everybody Loves Raymond, 'Til Death). But Polly and her parents look at life through two different lenses. Polly's too uptight. Her parents are too laid back. Polly's conservative when it comes to dating (no action, whatsoever), while her parents are still sexually adventurous. They think Polly turned out okay, so what's the big deal? Well, they say it takes a village to raise a child...and in Polly's case, this village is on fire. But with help from her best friend Gregg (Orlando Jones, Rules of Engagement), her lovable yet irresponsible ex-husband Julian (Jon Dore, The Jon Dore Show) and her cool and fun assistant Jenn (Rebecca Delgado Smith), Polly takes her first steps toward getting a life, starting with a social one. PRODUCTION COMPANIES: 20th Century Fox and Imagine Television CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Claudia Lonow EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Claudia Lonow, Brian Grazer, Francie Calfo EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: Julie Anne Robinson (pilot) CAST: Sarah Chalke (Canadian) as Polly, Jon Dore (Canadian) as Julian, Rachel Eggleston as Natalie, Brad Garrett as Max, Orlando Jones as Gregg, Elizabeth Perkins as Elaine, Rebecca Delgado Smith as Jenn

NEW DRAMAS - MID-SEASON

THE CARRIE DIARIES

It's 1984, and life isn't easy for 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw. Since their mother passed away, Carrie's younger sister Dorritt is more rebellious than ever, and their father Tom is overwhelmed with the responsibility of suddenly having to care for two teenage girls on his own. Carrie's friends - sweet, geeky Mouse, sarcastic and self-assured Maggie and sensitive Walt - make life bearable, but a suburban life in Connecticut isn't doing much to take her mind off her troubles. And even though the arrival of a sexy new transfer student named Sebastian brings some excitement to Carrie's world, she is struggling to move on from her grief. So when Tom offers Carrie the chance to intern at a law firm in Manhattan, she leaps at the chance. Carrie's eyes are opened wide at the glamour and grit of New York City - and when she meets Larissa, the style editor for Interview magazine, she's inspired by the club culture and unique individuals that make up Larissa's world. Carrie's friends and family may have a big place in her heart, but she's fallen in love for the first time with the most important man in her life - Manhattan. The Carrie Diaries is based on the novels The Carrie Diaries and Summer and the City by Candace Bushnell PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Fake Empire in association with Warner Bros. Television CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Amy B. Harris EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Amy B. Harris, Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Len Goldstein, Candace Bushnell EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: Miguel Arteta (pilot) CAST: AnnaSophia Robb as Carrie Bradshaw, Austin Butler as Sebastian Kydd, Ellen Wong (Canadian) as Mouse, Katie Findlay (Canadian) as Maggie Landers, Stefania Owen as Dorrit Bradshaw, Brendan Dooling as Walt Reynolds, Chloe Bridges as Donna LaDonna, Freema Agyeman as Larissa Loughton, Matt Letscher as Tom Bradshaw

HANNIBAL

One of the most fascinating literary characters comes to life on television for the first time: psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. In this new drama from Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Heroes), based on the characters from Thomas Harris' classic novels, we see where this incredible story began. Will Graham (Hugh Dancy, The Big C) is a gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the FBI. Graham's unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability to empathize with anyone - even psychopaths. He seems to know what makes them tick. But when the mind of the twisted killer he's pursuing is too complicated for even Will to comprehend, he enlists the help of Dr. Lecter, one of the premier psychiatric minds in the country. Armed with the uncanny expertise of the brilliant doctor, Will and Hannibal (known as a serial killer only to the audience) form a brilliant partnership and it seems there's no villain they can't catch. PRODUCTION COMPANIES: Gaumont International Television CREATOR/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Bryan Fuller EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Bryan Fuller, Martha De Laurentis, Sara Colleton, Jesse Alexander, Katie O'Connell EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR: David Slade (pilot) CAST: Hugh Dancy as Will Graham
