It's a Fox show. Global just buys it and resells it to Canadians for no reason.
But that's for another thread...sorry, couldn't resist the jab.

Joke's on you, most of the time canadian networks override the broadcasts on the american channels for those shows.
no.. there is a reason... they buy it so they have the canadian broadcasting rights of the show, so canadians watch it on them, and so that (as my previous statement says) they can have their station broadcast the show over top of the american signal. so the reason is: so they have viewers watching their station to watch their ads. I'd much rather help a canadian station make money by watching their ads vs an american company.
And so what if Global buys a show and shows it.. it makes absolutely no difference to you whether you watch it on global vs fox... just because a station buys the canadian rights for it, apparently you have to hate that station just because of that?
also: saying you hate TV stations in canada because they have shows that are american has got to be the stupidest reason ever, oh no, canadian channels show american programs, must hate them...
and don't need them? Well then we wouldn't get any canadian content on air or even any that gets over to the states, yes there are very few of those at all, but without the major networks in canada there would be 0 produced canadian content, and with canadian content there are jobs, money that goes to the industry, cities, provinces, etc....
so end of story, you should actually watch the canadian networks and not the american ones.
also: it's your choice to pay for the american stations
