Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Natter, and then Unamerican or Cable Box, since it's not on a US network any more.

I've been watching it exclusively on the ION channel, which is a US channel. Where else does it air?

It's a Canadian show and the US just gets the repeats afterwards.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ION will be showing the new season as well as CTV, if not concurrently then shortly after. The network ponies up a substantial portion of production costs.

Hasn't season 5 already run in Canada? It's not been on ION yet, has it?

What is the correct terminology for ABC/NBC/CBS/CW and possibly also PBS? That's what I meant to say.
It used to be on CBS, but now that it's only on ION it's incontrovertibly Cable Box.
FTR, season 5 starts September 27 in Canada. I don't know if ION has scheduled a date yet.
Halfway through Major Crimes, and DiNozzo isn't enough to keep my attention on the crime. When the priest tells Raydor that Rusty is being thrown out for winning the fight, and the priest's defence is "I want my students to be safe" isn't the reflexive answer "then throw out the students that attack other kids"? Why does it have to come down to hypocrisy and threats of action first? Shouldn't that be the position he defends?
I do think it's kind of weird to yell at a teenager attacked by three people for using disproportionate force--he's not a trained fighter, and even if he was, a certain amount of "more" is allowed to end the fight, legally. So few kids his age are going to be able to modulate violence like she's yelling at him for not doing. He didn't pull a weapon. With multiple attackers you do go harder. You can't let them all gang up on you at once.

They don't want Rusty in the school. I wish that Raydor had called the priest on his bullshit about "zero tolerance". After acknowledging that the other kid(s) started the fight, why was Rusty getting expelled, and the other three getting suspended? Typical school bullshit.
Although, I wish that the point was moot, because this Rusty storyline has gotten old. What is the point?
It's that typical bullshit stereotype that a female protagonist must have some stupid flaw or block to her competence. In Brenda's case, it was her addiction to sweets. Raydor has to have this trouble maker that keeps her from getting to crime scenes, etc. Ridiculous. I'm going to stop watching if they don't get rid of Rusty (or at least greatly reduce his screen time).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Network.
This. Or broadcast? The things I could pick up for free with an antenna if I lived in the right place and owned a tv with an antenna still.
The lines are certainly blurring.
