A popular Canadian children's web series has been acquired by the CBC for broadcast on the channel itself and on its children?s website.

'Ruby Skye P.I.' will begin airing on the network's Kids' CBC website this winter. Ten episodes in all have been licensed, with each episode scheduled to air in five to six minute segments on the website.

That is the first step in a bigger cross-platform picture. The CBC signed the program to a digital-first deal, one that will eventually see it broadcast on television as well.

The plan is to air a one-hour episode of the program on the CBC network after the mini episodes have aired on the website.

The series focuses on teenage detective Ruby Skye, who is played by Madison Cheeatow. She is joined by Haley Skye, her technically-inclined sister played by Marlee Maslove. Together they try to solve crimes in their neighborhood.

Two seasons of the show have been produced already and can be seen on the Ruby Skye website here. The first season consisted of 12 episodes while the second had nine.

No word yet on which of the two seasons will be broadcast or if future seasons of the show will be brought over as well.

Here is a video of the first episode of the franchise, titled "Animal Farm."

?CBC is quickly emerging as a front-runner in digital innovation,? said Kim Wilson, CBC's creative head of children?s and youth programming. ?We?re proud to be contributing to innovative new multi-platform initiatives with the incorporation of web-based Ruby Skye P.I. to Kids? CBC.?

The CBC also recently announced a separate deal to air seven-part comedy web series 'Everyone?s Famous' as a 45-minute TV special.

Will this trend continue?

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
