'Class of the Titans' Receives Shaw Rocket Funding for Season Two.

This is probably old news by now, but it's certainly worth reporting on. If you're a fan, you've probably seen their logo flash by during the ending credits of the show -- the Shaw Rocket Fund is once again providing 'Class of the Titans' with funding, this time for its second season. You can view the show on its 2006 project list here. 'Class of the Titans' was previously provided with funding back in 2004 for its first season, and that listing can be viewed here.

What is the Shaw Rocket Fund exactly? You're probably better-off reading their own description, but the gist of it is that it's a private and non-profit organization that provides funding for Canadian television programming targeted at children and families.

The corporation also awards the prestigious Shaw Rocket Prize to the, quote, 'best independent Canadian children's television program' for its respective year. The winner for 2006 was 'Being Ian' which, like 'Class of the Titans', is also produced by Studio B Productions. Congratulations, Studio B and those involved with the projects!
