* Unlike the US (where programmes appear an hour earlier in the Central time zone) Canada is more likely to encounter weird timezone issues going East. The world will end at midnight, "half an hour later in Newfoundland" « et une heure plus tard dans les Maritimes » is an old [[Running Gag|running joke]] around CBC/Radio-Canada. This is less likely to impact watershed - as it merely pushes the programming further into the night on the Atlantic coast.
** This means that watershed lands at 9PM in Montréal and Toronto while neighbouring New York markets (Plattsburgh and Buffalo) are patiently waiting until "11, 10 Central".
* When ''[[Erin Brockovich]]'' was on CTV, because of the timeslot it was in and the length of the movie, the first half of the movie was censored and the second half was not. It was quite the surprise to be greeted after the commercial break with a triumphant "fuck you!"
* Subverted by the CBC, which doesn't really seem to care about the watershed; they've shown language to make a sailor blanch ''on the six o'clock news''. There are certain things only the [[We Will Use Wiki Words in the Future|MotherCorp]] can get away with.
