CANADIAN GEOGRAPHIC HITS THE AIR WAVES
By Adnews Staff
Lauron Productions of Toronto has teamed up with Canadian Geographic magazine to launch a monthly one-hour TV series in October. The show will cover different aspects of geography, such as exploration, development and environmental impact. It will draw from some stories published in Canadian Geographic but will also air original productions. Lauron is still in negotiations with broadcasters to determine which channel will air the show, but the company expects it to be on one traditional channel and one specialty service. In addition, Lauron will produce one-hour geography specials, such as a program about a Grizzly Bear study being done in Western Canada. Canadian Geographic is published by The Royal Canadian Geographical Society of Vanier, Ont.
