MovieTelevision is a Canadian entertainment news series, which aired on Citytv from 1988 to 2006.^[1] The series aired reports on film, including interviews with actors and filmmakers, preview clips of upcoming films and coverage of film-related events such as the Toronto International Film Festival.

The series was launched in 1988 as a replacement for the network's longrunning talk show City Lights.^[2] It was initially cohosted by Brian Linehan and Jeanne Beker, with its title and format patterned on Citytv's FashionTelevision.^[2] However, Linehan was dissatisfied with the format, as it left him with far less time to conduct the in-depth interviews with actors which had been his specialty on City Lights, and he left the show after the first season.^[3]

Terry David Mulligan joined the show in the second season as a correspondent from Vancouver, but was not officially billed as a full cohost of the show at the time.^[4] For a while in the mid-1990s the show was billed as a "hostless" format, with nobody officially serving as the primary host of the program but both Beker and Mulligan continuing to report as correspondents;^[5] in later years, however, Beker and Mulligan were again billed as full co-hosts. After joining Citytv as an entertainment reporter, Traci Melchor also sometimes appeared as a correspondent in the mid-1990s.^[6]

Following the launch of Citytv's entertainment news sister station Star! in 1999, the series was added to that channel's schedule.^[7] In addition to new episodes, Star! also reran older episodes under the title Best of MovieTelevision.^[8]

The series was also syndicated, both to other Canadian television stations and internationally.^[9]

The series ceased production at the end of the 2005-06 television season, in advance of the network's sale to Rogers Media.
