During the Bell Media [TCO] upfront the broadcaster announced its 2022/2023 line up of television shows on the network.  Bell put a capital "E" in entertainment as the broadcaster hosted a live upfront this year, as well as providing a live-stream feed. Once again the Meridian Hall was packed with media buyers / planners and marketers who had a chance to enjoy the presentation which included a number of celebrity appearances.

Pat DiVittorio

“I feel really strongly that when streaming started to become more popular, network broadcasters were reacting,” DiVittorio said. “They tried replicating what Netflix was, in terms of content creation, similar to what historically happened with cable. But network viewers expect specific content. Now that there are platforms for all viewers, each one should have distinct content to fit its audience’s interests. We feel that the development of network shows this year is much more suited to what we believe conventional network viewers want.” - Pat DiVittorio (VP, Programming, CTV & Specialty)
