We recently bought a family membership to the Aga Khan Museum. We’ve had memberships to the Toronto Zoo, Ontario Science Centre, the Royal Ontario Museum, Marineland, and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
During last month’s Doors Open Toronto we decided to pay this architectural beauty (near our home too!) a visit.
Today’s guest is award-winning investigative and consumer reporter Sean O’Shea. Sean is regarded as one of the most tenacious reporters in television today.. He has exposed organized crime figures, scam artists and unscrupulous contractors – at frequent risk (he was once assaulted on air by biker gang members who had attacked him with a fire extinguisher.) I hope you enjoy my conversation with Global TV’s Sean O’Shea.
Today’s guest is a graduate of Ryerson University’s Radio and Television Arts Program. He started his broadcasting career in Winnipeg, Manitoba before moving to Sacramento, California. Today he has a role on TV’s Saving Hope.
I got to attend mt first week of “upfronts” recently in Toronto. Upfronts are when networks preview the upcoming season in the hopes that advertising companies will buy commercials on these networks upfront (before the shows even air). Get it?
Anyways, one of the shows I’m excited to see on CTV (part of Bell Media) is the new upcoming program by Russell Peters: The Indian Detective.
According to IMBD, “The series will star Peters as a Toronto cop who unexpectedly finds himself investigating a murder in his parents’ Indian homeland, and will begin shooting this fall in South Africa, Canada and India. Big Light Productions, Blue Ice Pictures, Wonder Films and CTV will produce the project, which is financed by Blue Ice Pictures and the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa.”
