Falcon Beach is a current Canadian television show, filmed at Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba, Canada, produced in Canada for U.S. and Canadian markets. It originally aired in 2005 as a movie on Global in Canada. It was produced as a TV series for Global and ABC Family in 2006. It is currently being aired by SOAPnet.
It is unique among Canadian TV series in that the producers film two versions of each episode. The first is for Canada and uses Canadian geographic references and terminology. The second version is done for the United States and uses American geographic references and terminology.

After a stellar ratings debut, numbers for the program slipped after Global moved the program around across its schedule multiple times. Despite the declining ratings, Global renewed the series for an additional 13-episodes. [1]
