Comments Off on Cassie Steele & Annie Clark Attend the Juno Awards
Degrassi stars Cassie Steele and Annie Clark were both at the Juno Awards last night in Ottawa. They were there to present the Dance Recording of the Year award along with Francois Arnaud from The Borgias. Annie looked adorable in this neon pink strapless dress, while Cassie chose a revealing leather number that I’m sure turned a lot of heads. Check out more pictures from the event in our gallery!

Comments Off on 915/916 HQ Images
Finally CTV has posted super HQ promotional images for 915/916. And the lovely Joa has retrieved them for us as always! Click the thumbnails to check them out. If you’re wondering why it has taken so long (915/916 has premiered on TeenNick and Much Music already), “Why Can’t This Be Love Part 1 & 2” is set to air on CTV next Sunday, May 30th at 7pm.

Comments Off on Last Half of Season 9 on Much Music
Schedules are up, and it looks like the last half of season 9 will continue on Much Music starting next week. Much is set to begin airing Degrassi again on Monday May 10th at 9pm ET. Of course, the question still was whether or not CTV would premiere the episode on Sunday May 9th, the way that they have in the past. A quick look at CTV’s schedule shows that Degrassi is not scheduled to air that week. Instead, CTV is airing Human Target in Degrassi’s old Sunday at 7 timeslot.
So it definitely looks like Degrassi will be airing exclusively on Much Music from now on. This is not only for season 10, but for the last unaired episodes of season 9 as well.

Comments Off on Degrassi Returning to Canada Next Month?
According to Cable TV Talk, new episodes of Degrassi will be resuming in Canada next month. Episode 915 (“Why Can’t This Be Love”) is scheduled to air Monday, May 10th at 9pm on Much Music. As of right now, CTV’s schedule only goes until May 8th, so it’s unclear as to whether CTV will also be airing new episodes. But I’ll keep you posted! It will be nice to have Degrassi back for the Canadians.

Comments Off on Degrassi Moves From CTV to Much Music
Aaaand it’s official. There has been lots of speculation that this might happen for a while. Now we know for sure. Much Music announced today that Degrassi will be moving exclusively to Much Music this summer. Much will most likely air season 10 at the exact same time as TeenNick several days per week with this new “telenovela” format. Much will also be airing the Degrassi Takes Manhattan TV movie and they promise “tons of original online content.” Read all the info at Much Music’s official blog.

Comments Off on Scheduling Update
Skins is returning this week, Lost is returning next, but the question we all want to know is when will Degrassi be back???
As you all know, TeenNick will be airing “Waiting for a Girl Like You” and “Somebody” back-to-back on Friday Feb. 5th in a special called Love Games (Lady GaGa anyone?). But when will Degrassi be returning to CTV? And will TeenNick continue to air new episodes later next month?
According to TeenNick’s schedule, as of right now these are the only 2 new episodes to air in the month of February. On the CTV side of things, it doesn’t look like new episodes will start back up until at least the conclusion of the Winter Olympics. That is all we know about season 9 at this point.
However, Stefan has been tweeting some interesting information about season 10 lately. A while ago he said that season 10 will begin airing in the summer. We know already that shooting is set to begin this March. More recently he said: “For season 10 both networks are really gonna try keeping new Degrassi’s same day – same date!” So will both CTV and TeenNick be premiering season 10 in the summer? We will have to wait and see. There is also the New York Degrassi movie that has yet to air. Whatever the case, I’ll keep you posted!

Comments Off on Degrassi Pulls in Big Ratings for CTV
Degrassi pulled in 608 000 viewers on CTV last Sunday! That’s the kind of numbers we were seeing for Degrassi back in season 6!! Hopefully Degrassi can keep this up, and maybe even jump higher in the ratings when CTV airs the much anticipated Riley episode in 2 weeks.
No word yet on the exact ratings for Degrassi on TeenNick, but we have heard that the show is doing very well and its ratings are very high.

Comments Off on No New Episode on CTV Next Week
CTV will not be airing a new episode next Sunday, Oct. 25th. Instead, CTV will air “Beat It” (the Riley 2 part episode that everyone is so excited about) the following Sunday (Nov. 1st). According to Much Music’s schedule, currently they have “Beat It” listed for Oct. 26th. However I’m not sure if this is just a mistake on their part, because I can’t see them airing the episode before CTV does. I’ll keep an eye out and let everyone know soon!
TeenNick will air its next new episode (904 – “Close to Me”) as scheduled this Friday.

903: “Shoot to Thrill”
Alli tries “sexting” to keep her and Johnny together. But this could cost her relationship and her reputation?
905: “You Be Illin'”
Alli is torn about her feelings for Johnny and when he wants a serious talk. Is it to get back together or crush her for good.

Degrassi pulled in 471, 000 viewers on CTV last night! That’s about 100, 000 more than the season 8 premiere. Considering the lack of promotion (at least from what I saw), I’d say that’s pretty good for Degrassi! It’s not nearly as high as Degrassi’s Canadian ratings in season 4/5, but it’s still much better than season 8. Perhaps the new characters are starting to catch on with Canadian audiences? Either that or the Vampire Diaries fans tuned in for Nina Dobrev.
Hopefully Degrassi does well when it premieres on TeenNick this Friday!

Comments Off on Degrassi One of Canada’s Top Online Programs
A new press release from CTV reveals that Degrassi is its the third highest rated TV series online. While Degrassi’s TV ratings have decreased in Canada over the past 2 years, fans seem to be getting their Degrassi fix online instead. Degrassi is the highest rated Canadian show online (beating out popular shows like Flashpoint and Corner Gas which exceed Degrassi in terms of television ratings). Overall, Degrassi trails only Gossip Girl and Greys Anatomy to sit in third spot. Other shows rounding out the top 10 include Desperate Housewives, Private Practice, and Lost.
