If you’re in Canada tonight, and you’re itching for some YouTube-2.0-meets-Survivor-Idol action, and you’re young enough (or cool enough) not to have to be in bed by 10 so you can get up for work early tomorrow morning, then check out the season premiere of Exposure on CBC Television, at 11 pm.

More is certainly to come.
