Toronto fans of the television show Murdoch Mysteries can rest easy knowing that their regularly-scheduled programing will not be interrupted on election night. William Murdoch, aka Yannick Bisson, will be airing in his usual 8 p.m. timeslot Monday, angering some observers who believe CBC should instead be airing municipal election coverage. “We’re confident that our coverage of the GTA municipal elections will provide extensive, up-to-date news across all of our platforms.” Murdoch Mysteries starts at 8 p.m., the same time polls close, followed by Frankie Drake Mysteries at 9 p.m. and The National at 10 p.m. Special election coverage on local CBC television will start at 11 p.m. Television news about who will be mayor and members of council and reaction will be broadcast during a special television report on CBC News Toronto, starting at 11 p.m., said Thompson. More than a million viewers are expected to tune in to Murdoch Mysteries and about 670,000 for Frankie Drake Mysteries, based on viewing numbers for the new season, he said.
