The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels

What happens
The Agenda with Steve Paikin, or simply The Agenda, is the flagship current affairs television program of TVOntario (TVO), Ontario's public broadcaster. Anchor Steve Paikin states that the show practices long-form journalism. Each hour-long program covered no more than two topics. The show aired weekdays on TVO at 8:00 and 11:00 p.m., and episodes were available on demand at the show's website and through mobile media. The show concluded at the end of its 19th season, with the final episode airing on June 27, 2025. The Agenda was replaced in the fall of 2025 with The Rundown, which is to feature “original journalism and in-depth analysis exploring social, political, cultural and economic issues that impact Ontarians.” Paikin will not host the new show, but will continue with the network on a part-time basis as co-host of the weekly political podcast #onpoli, and as a columnist on TVO's website as well as hosting public events for the network.
