I'm posting this outside the Canadian forum since it really isn't a newsbabe topic.

Afternoons are about to get a lot more social, Canada! CTV announced today it has ordered THE SOCIAL, an all-new, one-hour, daily Canadian talk series from Bell Media In-House Productions for the upcoming 2013/14 broadcast season. The original series was conceived and developed to deliver a unique Canadian voice to the CTV daytime schedule, in addition to providing custom opportunities for CTV’s advertising partners. Adding five new hours of original Canadian content each week (260 total hours/year) to CTV’s #1 daytime lineup, THE SOCIAL brings a fresh perspective on the up-to-the-minute pop culture and lifestyle topics that matter most to Canadians. THE SOCIAL also provides an innovative outlet for viewers who love a friendly debate through social media, e-mail, and text messaging – no topic is off limits! – as the only program of its kind on English Canadian conventional television.
The best thing is that they're going to straight for the jugular with 4 hot hostesses instead of just having the one token. I'm especially happy to see Melissa return to full-screen television.

As part of today’s announcement, CTV named four of the most engaging and opinionated women on Canadian television today as co-hosts of THE SOCIAL. Cast from Bell Media’s diverse original productions, THE SOCIAL brings together a dynamic and influential group of co-hosts with distinct points of view: news anchor Melissa Grelo (@melissagrelo), Canada’s foremost gossip blogger Lainey Lui (@LaineyGossip), relationship expert Cynthia Loyst (@cynthialoyst), and entertainment reporter Traci Melchor (@stayfabulous). Surprise celebrity guest co-hosts also join the panel to speak to the news or pop culture events of the day.
