Jr ECTV was a weekly show featuring intergenerational conversations about media, pop culture, politics, health, economics and more.

Jr. EC TV ran successfully for 6 seasons and 52 episodes drawing a diverse audience of youth, leaders, parents and educators.

From Far & Wide

Sides* was a content stream for youth created in partnership with Bell Media. Anchored by a first-of-its-kind weekly LIVE TV show on social media, our feed stayed fresh all week long with a mix of produced and user-generated content across all social channels. Sides* passes the mic to the next generation and lets them lead the conversation. We want to give our younger generation a voice and a platform to talk about serious world issues from a fresh and youthful perspective. Our goal is to encourage more youth to engage in meaningful conversations about the world around them and the issues that pertain to their future. We’re everywhere our audience is, including TV. We curate the best of the week into a one-hour TV series. Sides* mixes the unfiltered discussion from the “LIVE social first show” with the viewers’ social media reaction and rants, airing on MUCH every week. Sides* completed its first season in 2017.
