Street Cents

December 2025 •English

"Street Cents," a teen-centered newsmagazine aired on CBC Television from 1989 to 2006, stood out for its focus on consumer and media awareness for young viewers. Created by producer John Nowlan and inspired by Britain's "Pocket Money," the series garnered critical acclaim, winning Gemini Awards and an International Emmy for Best Youth Programming. Ad-free like CBC's Marketplace, it prioritized unbiased critique of products and services, promoting safety, ethics, and youth empowerment. Despite its lauded inclusivity, the show ended in October 2006 due to declining teen viewership, leaving CBC-TV without youth-targeted programming.

Rogue Traders

December 2025 •English

Rogue Traders was a prime-time BBC One presenter-led investigative consumer affairs television series starring Matt Allwright, an investigative journalist and presenter and his side-kick, Dan Penteado who also works as a private investigator around Europe and the UK. Rogue Traders began in 2001 and has run for nine series on BBC One. Allwright and Penteado film and script much of the series themselves, resulting in an improvised, 'on the hoof' feel to the show. An occasional catchphrase used during the show is "We never give up." Since 10 September 2009, a new one-hour revamp of the consumer-affairs programme Watchdog began airing, incorporating Rogue Traders as a segment of the show.

Kieskeurig

December 2025 •Dutch

Kieskeurig was een consumentenprogramma van de TROS, dat werd uitgezonden van medio jaren 70 tot medio 1993. Het was naast Koning Klant het tweede consumentenprogramma op de Nederlandse televisie. Het programma werd aanvankelijk gepresenteerd door Mireille Bekooij en Hein van Nievelt. Na de overstap van Wim Bosboom van de VARA naar de TROS nam deze de plaats in van Hein van Nievelt en werd de laatste invalpresentator. Het programma was behulpzaam bij consumenten met klachten of problemen op consumentengebied. Ook vonden er testen plaats. Een bekende rubriek was 'Het wrak van de weg' waarbij een consument centraal stond die een auto had gekocht die niet voldeed. Het item eindigde dan bijna altijd met het wrak dat door een snijbrander tot schroot werd verwerkt met daarbij de woorden 'Die zien we nooit meer terug'. In 1993 werd het programma voor het laatst uitgezonden en later opgevolgd door het nog steeds bestaande consumentenprogramma TROS Radar.
