The Southern Ontario/WNY Radio-TV Forum / Does CBC Simsub Wild Cards With CW?

I watched the CBC dramedy Wild Cards last evening. About the third time I have viewed the program, and it is pretty good. I noticed that Wild Cards is running at the same time, Wednesday at 8pm on CW. CBC doesn't do any simsub normally, but I am wondering if they do with Wild Cards. I don't receive a CW station with Bell Fibe so I don't know.

CBC picked up a Disney special for the 30th Anniversary of Beauty and The Beast a few years ago. It was scheduled at the same time as ABC in the US but they didn't bother with any simsub for the program.

Just wondering if Wild Cards in fact is simsubed, or just running at the same time on the two networks.

Probably very little viewership is being lost if they aren't simsubing this program. Might not even be worth someones time to make the request.

Could be that CBC just doesn't bother with simsub at all, even on the very rare occasions that they could have it. As mentioned they didn't bother a few years ago with a Disney special that ran the same time as ABC.

CW usually repeats the Wednesday Wild Cards on Saturday evening.
