Music is everywhere and we like it that way. Studies have shown that the majority of people will go to bars and restaurants that play good music and people even expect good music to be piped into their gym. That said, you'd have to have your Discman earbuds stuck into your brain not to realize the music industry has changed: big music retailers are shutting down and that Ikea CD Tower you were once so proud of now looks more like an antique. So what is the future of consuming music and where are the deals?

The Juno Awards celebrated their 40th anniversary and organizers were going all out to mark the occasion.

The awards show was back to Toronto, where the first Junos were held in 1970. A new statuette was unveiled, and Shania Twain, the best-selling Canadian female artist was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

And for the first time the event will be completely powered by green electricity. Bullfrog Power, a 100 percent green electricity provider, announced this week that it will be "greening" 568 MWh of electricity on behalf of the Junos, which is about enough electricity to power 58 homes for a year.

CTV has released its list of the most popular television broadcasts for 2010, revealing the TV watching habits of Canadians.

So what is it we like to watch? Turns out it is sports, more sports, and a bit of celebrity. But what's missing from the list is just as telling. What don't Canadians like to watch?

Unfortunately, the answer is Canadian TV shows.

With the exception of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics which dominated the year -- even if it was just a one-off historical blip -- only four Canadian broadcasts in a list of 70 programs made it into CTV's list of most watched TV shows and events. No homegrown sitcoms made the list.

The two best performing Canadian broadcasts were both sports related. The Grey Cup garnered a respectable turnout of 5,027,200, making it the fourth most watched broadcast of the entire year (excluding the Olympics). Meanwhile, the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship twice made it into the list of most watched sporting events for 2010 -- once for the gold medal game vs. the U.S., and also for the playoff against Switzerland. Even so, it came in behind the Superbowl showdown between New Orleans and Indianapolis with an audience of 6,297,400.
