CBC puts Kim's Convenience and Schitt's Creek on a comedy loop

A round-the-clock stream of Canadian sitcoms joins the entertainment channel's lineup as its total views jump.

CBC Story of October 21, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? An unusual change in the channel.

CBC added about 6.6 million views in a day, while its latest uploads offered a familiar invitation: settle in with the Kims, the Roses or the teachers of Mr. D.

The broadcaster has posted a round-the-clock comedy livestream featuring full episodes of Kim's Convenience, Schitt's Creek, Workin' Moms, Son of a Critch and more, alongside Canadian sketch comedy and stand-up specials. The stream itself has only a few thousand views, so it does not explain the channel-wide jump.

Kim's Convenience already has a substantial presence here in shorter form. CBC's most-watched Short is "Appa meets a drag queen," featuring the convenience-store patriarch played by Paul Sun-Hyung Lee. The livestream offers a different way into that world: whole episodes rather than a single exchange across the counter.

Elsewhere in the lineup, George Stroumboulopoulos takes the longer view. The trailer for Stories That Made Us With George Stroumboulopoulos introduces a cross-Canada documentary journey through the films and television shows that helped shape Canadian identity, with the people behind those screen memories contributing their stories.
