PBS picks up our documentary, CFNY: The Spirit of Radio

July 22, 2026 Alan Cross 0 Comments 11 Views

The momentum continues for our documentary on CFNY: The Spirit of Radio, a film about the station covering the period from 1977 through to the early 90s. After a series of very successful theatrical screenings and selling out all the Blu-rays (don’t worry, more are on the way), PBS has picked up the 90-minute extended version, which is different (and better!) than the 60-minute version that was aired on TVO (and geo-blocked) earlier this year.

Word is being spread by this story in Deadline. Watch for it in September.

It’s time again for another one of my national speaking tours! Here’s where/when/ticket links
