Gender Parity Status Report for 2022

27 January 2023

Original Productions for Blue Ant Media Canadian Channels


According to the action plan submitted to the CRTC in September 2019, Blue Ant’s goal is to achieve gender parity in key creative positions in Canadian commissioned original productions for its eight discretionary television services by the end of broadcast year 2024.

The focus of Blue Ant’s gender parity plan is on the following key creative positions that are essential in the production of programming:

  • Broadcast Executive
  • Executive Producer
  • Series Producer
  • Director
  • Head of Production (Line Producer)
  • Story Editor (Writer)

Specifically, as part of a phased in process to reach this goal, for its 2022 slate Blue Ant aimed that in 80% of the commissioned programs, 50% of key creative positions would be held by women. In the end, Blue Ant exceeded this with 106.50 hours/108.50 hours or 98% of its projects achieving gender parity.
