GlobalTVBeginning today, Global is giving Canadian viewers a special online preview at GlobalTV.com of Awake, its new American-made mid-season drama. Also available on the Global Video App for iPad™, iPhone™ and iPod Touch™ users, the reality-bending drama that deftly explores the intriguing portrayal of the alternate realities makes its highly anticipated network debut on Thursday, March 1 – 10pm ET/PT on Global.
