Rogers Media on Tuesday unveiled new U.S. comedies, dramas and three reality series acquired at the recent Los Angeles Screenings as the Canadian Upfront presentations kicked into gear.<\/p>\n

The new U.S. shows for the broadcaster\u2019s upcoming Fall 2014 schedule includes the new\u00a0Scorpion<\/em>\u00a0drama on Monday nights at 9 p.m., the\u00a0Utopia<\/em>\u00a0reality series on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. and Fridays at 9 p.m., both in simulcast, and the\u00a0Black-ish<\/em>\u00a0comedy on Wednesday nights at 9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

After last year stripping\u00a0Modern Family<\/em>\u00a0at 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., City will do the same this coming season with the 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. timeslots being filled with strip episodes of\u00a02 Broke Girls<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Two and a Half Men.<\/em><\/p>\n

As previously announced, City will feature first-time NHL hockey games on Saturday and Sunday nights.<\/p>\n

Returning series for City includes\u00a0New Girl,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Mindy Project<\/em>, in addition to the reality series\u00a0The Bachelor<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Hell\u2019s Kitchen.<\/em><\/p>\n

On the Canadian series front, City will air\u00a0The Bachelor Canada<\/em>\u00a0at 8 p.m. on Thursday nights, and the\u00a0Package Deal<\/em>\u00a0comedy on Friday nights at 8 p.m. A decision on\u00a0Seed<\/em>\u2018s return has not yet been made, the network confirmed.<\/p>\n

Rogers Media also acquired for mid-season the one-hour drama\u00a0Backstrom<\/em>, a comic crime procedural that stars Rainn Wilson, and which is yet to be scheduled.<\/p>\n

In addition to the\u00a057th<\/sup>\u00a0annual Grammy Awards<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Country Music Awards<\/em>, City will also air the three-hour live event show\u00a0Peter Pan Live!<\/em>, acquired from Universal.<\/p>\n

Prior to Rogers Media\u2019s upfront presentation Tuesday night, Hayden Mindell, director, programming at Rogers Communications, told\u00a0Playback<\/em>\u00a0that the 2014-2015 fall schedule represents a shift in programming strategy for the conventional net.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the addition of hockey, we\u2019re going to draw entirely new audiences to the network. We want to be able to grow those audiences, bring in new people to hockey, but also use hockey as a promotional vehicle,\u201d he said. \u201cWe had become focused on women and comedy and this is just the opportunity we\u2019ve been looking for to broaden that.\u201d<\/p>\n
