Programming note. A telepathic paramedic with a secret past coming to Fox Entertainment in The Listener.


A great show is coming to Fox Entertainment (TopTV 180) when The Listener with Craig Olejnik as Toby Logan debuts on Saturday, 22 January at 20:15.

Combine Kyle XY, Ghost Whisperer and Early Edition and you have this supernatural show with 13 episodes in its first season (it second season will start next month in Canada) about 25 year old Toby who can hear people's thoughts. Mysteriously, this telepatic paramedic in Toronto grew up without knowing his father, and bounced from foster home to foster home.

Now he cruises the street of Toronto in an ambulance with his partner Osman ''Oz'' Bey, helping people while he can hear everyone's most intimate thoughts - while piecing together his strange past with the help of detective Charlie Marks and his on-again, off again girlfriend Olivia Fawcett.

Maaaany cool surprises are waiting in The Listener, but I won't spoil any of it. Different names, all kinds of clues, cool stories. If you like Kyle XY you'll love this show. Okay. . . I'll spoil one thing. Toby actually had to be protected and so had to be hidden away - by orders of his mother because he's special and because some people simply cannot be allowed to find . . . but I've said too much.
