The Eleventh Hour (Canadian TV Series)
''The Eleventh Hour'' is a Canadian television drama series which aired weekly on CTV from 2002 to 2005. The show revolves around the reporters and producers at a fictional television news magazine series, ''The Eleventh Hour''. Unhappy with the newsmagazine's shrinking audience, the network has brought in a new executive producer, Kennedy Marsh, to reorient the show in a more ratings-driven tabloid journalism direction.

''The Eleventh Hour'' was produced by Alliance Atlantis, Canada's largest film and television production house. It aired in the United States on Sleuth, under the title ''Bury the Lead'', to distinguish it from a CBS series with a similar name. Ratings Although the show started off poorly in the Ca ...
