IFC also began to regularly air TV series. These are mostly second-run programs that previously aired on other Canadian channels, such as sister channel Showcase. None of the American version's original programming airs on this channel; they have instead been picked up by competing Canadian channels. For example, "Portlandia" premiered on Super Channel and aired in syndication on BiteTV (Now Makeful). For a number of years, it mainly carried content from the American cable network Showtime under a licensing agreement with that network's owner, the CBS Corporation.
