the latest buzz

Five grade-nine students get the unlikely assignment of their lives when struggling magazine Teen BUZZ hires them on in an effort to reinvigorate the publication. Noah (Justin Kelly) reviews the music on the soundtrack of their lives. Amanda (Vanessa Morgan) uses a fashion sense which is as big as her ego. Michael (Demetrius Joyette) keeps track of all the celebrity stats. Wilder (Munro Chambers) gets radical with extreme sports and gaming. Rebecca (Zoë Belkin) is on the front lines of the lifestyle beat, reporting on everything from cheerleading try-outs to after-school detention. This quintet must rely on their individual gifts -- and on each other -- to crank out quality stories while contending with deadlines, their boss, teachers and parents.

The Latest Buzz is a current Canadian sitcom from Decode Entertainment airing on the Family Channel. This is Family Channel's first original multi-camera sitcom. As part as Spring Break-Out celebrations, the Latest Buzz cast and Family and Cineplex Entertainment hosted a launch party for the show. From March 13th until April 2nd, the Latest Buzz cast visited Ottawa, Queensway, Oakville, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Winnipeg Cineplex theaters. Interviews featuring the cast of the Latest Buzz have been featured frequently on Disney Channel and Family.

In this series, a struggling youth magazine, Teen BUZZ, replaces its staff with actual teens. Instead of being in class, five 14-year-old writers take their last period of the day at the magazine’s posh offices, learning about the fast-paced world of publishing.

Rebecca Harper: A happy, eager, girl who sets her sights high and has lofty dreams, such as winning the Pulitzer Prize. Rebecca writes the Student Issues column, also known as 'In So Many Words'. She is played by Zoë Belkin. She appears to be the only person (out of all her 5 co-writers) that really intends to become a journalist. She has a crush on her fellow buzz journalist Noah and later on they become a couple.
Michael Davies : A quirky writer capable of reporting on big stories, Michael writes the Entertainment column (Also known as 'Name Dropping'). He is played by Demetrius Joyette. Michael is hip and always has so much to say about everything. He always has his camera with him, and is constantly trying to find out some hot celebrity news. A fabulous dresser with a healthy ego, Michael is best friends with Rebecca, but gradually becomes better friends with both Noah and Wilder.

Noah Jackson: A sarcastic joker who frequently makes fun of others, Noah is considered the playful misfit, the kid you can't help but want to be around. The only difference is at work, his fellow writers can't afford to just dismiss him. Noah covers Music. and his column is 'Ear to the Ground'. He is the middle child and has a little sister named Carly and is always trying not to just be the 'middle child'. He is played by Justin Kelly. Noah is in love with Rebecca, though he works hard at denying it. Before long Noah does admit his crush to Rebecca and they end up becoming a couple.

Amanda Pierce: The magazine owner's daughter, Amanda covers Fashion. She is played by Vanessa Morgan. The "daddy's little rich girl", Amanda gets everything she wants and lives a charmed life, but is supersmart with the grades to prove it. Even though she and Rebecca may fight, they have mutual respect for each other. Amanda's column is 'Fashion Forward'. She has feelings for Wilder, and admits it later on in the show on many occasions.

Wilder: Gaming obsessed and willing to try anything, Wilder covers Gaming. He is played by Munro Chambers. Wilder's column is 'Game On'. As good-natured as they come, Wilder is completely clueless about everything except sports and gaming. At school, Wilder is the man, and at work, Wilder is the man. He has an ability to fit in wherever he is and gets along with whomever he's with. Wilder also has a thing for Amanda.
