The Newsroom ran on CBC in 1996–97, 2003–04, and 2004–05. Escape from the Newsroom was a 2002 TV movie. The episode is set in the newsroom of a TV station that is never named but is based on the CBC. The sitcom extracted a dark vein of humour from the political machinations and stupidity of the people involved in producing City Hour, the station's nightly program. The Newsroom's 13-episode run made it one of the most critically regarded Canadian TV shows of the 1990s. After The Newsroom, Finkleman produced three short-run shows for the CBC featuring Findlay as a linking character.
