'''''E.N.G.''''' is a [[Television in Canada|Canadian]] television drama, following the staff of a fictional [[Toronto]] television news station. The show aired on [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] from 1989 to 1994. The series ran for 96 episodes, produced by the [[Alliance Atlantis|Alliance Entertainment Corporation]].

== Plot ==
"E.N.G." stands for [[electronic news-gathering]]. The show is led by Anne Hildebrandt ([[Sara Botsford]]), the senior executive producer of the news broadcasts on fictional Toronto television station, CTLS channel 10. Hildebrandt is bright, assertive and also having a clandestine affair with star cameraman Jake Antonelli ([[Mark Humphrey (actor)|Mark Humphrey]]). Jake is younger and married to Martha with two children; after Jake and Martha divorce, son Jeff lives with Jake, while their daughter lives with her mother.

Mike Fennell ([[Art Hindle]]) is the station's newly-appointed news director, taking a position Anne had been expecting to receive. Mike aims to improve ratings of the newscasts and his coverage philosophy is in obvious conflict with Anne's. Anne and Mike find common ground and later become romantically involved. Mike has a troubled teenage daughter named Carrie from his previous marriage; Carrie lives in Vancouver.

Other members of the CTLS staff include Jane Oliver, the station's weathercaster; Seth Miller, who worries about being pushed into retirement due to his age; Kyle Copeland, the station's general manager who sometimes clashes with both Anne and Mike; Bobbi Katz, another camera person; J.C. Callahan, the station's alcoholic and cranky assignment editor, who later is left requiring a wheelchair by an accident; Marge Atherton, the station's video editor, who is very motherly and offers co-workers advice, and a compassionate shoulder to lean on; Dan Watson, a smarmy senior reporter who occasionally puts his foot in his mouth. Janice Roberts, a news researcher, joins channel 10 the same day Mike does. Janice later commits suicide after becoming too emotionally involved in a story. Bruce Foreman is a devious and scheming assistant assignment editor; Eric "Mac" MacFarlane is the newscast's openly-gay floor manager; Terri Morgan, a scheming reporter who tends to be very cut-throat. [[Victor Garber]] has a recurring role as  tycoon Adam Hirsch, who owned CTLS during the final three seasons.

At the end of the series, Anne and Mike try to balance their personal and professional lives, when it is revealed that CTLS is going from a hard news format to a lifestyles format. Mike receives a new job offer in Japan, and invites Anne to go with him. After making peace with Jake, who urged her to have a life with Mike, Anne decides to accept his offer, although she would not be permitted to work, by Japanese law. In the final episode, "The Cutting Edge", Clarke Roberts (Janice's brother) dares Anne to get back in the trenches and help him with a hard news story. She does, finding how much she loves the excitement. She is offered a job at another news station, by the station owner ([[Simon MacCorkindale]]). After talking to Mike, they decide they want different things. Mike goes to Japan to begin his new job. Anne is last seen standing outside the building where her new job, as station manager will begin.

==Reception==

Jim Leach argues that ''E.N.G.'' attempted to "negotiate between the traditions of Canadian television and formulas of the popular American programs that dominate CITV's schedule."<ref name="leach">{{cite book |first=Jim |last=Leach |title=Encyclopedia of Television |year=2014 |pages=806–7 |isbn=9781135194727 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |editor=Horace Newcomb}}</ref> He says that the series was often compared with the [[Canadian Broadcasting Company]]'s ''[[Street Legal (Canadian TV series)|Street Legal]]'', covering the "personal and professional entanglements" of a law office". Both of these show were in turn compared to ''[[Hill Street Blues]]'' and ''[[LA Law]]''. Unlike much of Canadian drama which had been produced by public networks, Leach reflects that "the success of ''E.N.G.'' raised hopes that the private networks would offer more support to Canadian producers."<ref name="leach"/>

The show, according to Leach, followed a tradition of documentary realism and social responsibility. However, he argues, the formula owes more to "melodramatic structures" of daytime [[soap opera]]s rather than the "Canadian suspicion of 'crisis structures'".<ref name="leach"/>

The show won ten [[Gemini Awards]], including best dramatic programming series. Broadcast historian Michael Nolan observes that the show was "critically acclaimed" yet "lost money every time it was aired, an illustration of how expensive the genre of Canadian dramatic programming was to produce in an increasingly fragmented television market."<ref>{{cite book |first=Michael |last=Nolan |title=CTV-The Network That Means Business |publisher=University of Alberta Press |isbn=0888643845 |year=2001 |page=257}}</ref>

==International broadcasts==
''E.N.G.'' was also screened in the United Kingdom on [[Channel 4]], which aired the first four seasons but chose not to present the fifth and final season. In the United States, the show aired in [[television syndication|syndication]]. It also aired on [[Lifetime (TV network)|Lifetime]] in the United States during the 1990-91 season, originally in the 7 PM (EST) slot, but due to poor ratings, was moved to late nights after only several{{specify|date=July 2014}} weeks. In Spain the series aired on [[Antena 3TV]] dubbed into Spanish and with the title "E.N.G. Reporteros" in a weekday 530pm slot. The channel screened a great number{{specify|date=July 2014}} of episodes but never completed the entire run. The series has never been repeated on Spanish TV. In [[Macedonia (country)|Macedonia]] it aired on the national [[Macedonian Radio-Television|MRT]]. In [[South Africa]] it aired on the [[SABC2]] channel.
