CTVglobemedia has confirmed its commitment to the training of Canadian television writers and producers through a $650,000 commitment to the National Screen Institute (NSI) over five years. The contribution supports NSI Totally Television training, which was created through CTV and CTV-BCE Benefits in 2002. With this current extension of support, thanks to the CTV/CHUM Benefits, Canadian television writers and producers will continue to receive the training they need to take the next steps in their careers and to help advance their projects towards securing development and broadcast deals. "Over the years we’ve seen our support of NSI Totally Television pay huge dividends in the professional training provided to the next generation of television content creators,"  said Susanne Boyce, president, creative, content and channels, CTV Inc. "NSI graduates produce quality series concepts that have been developed and broadcast nationally, providing great Canadian programming."
