[UPDATE 6/12/13 at 3:45pm EST: Stephen Stohn has confirmed that MuchMusic will be airing Degrassi on Thursdays at 8pm EST, with the new Degrassi after show at 8:30. As of now, TeenNick still plans to air Degrassi at 9pm EST on Thursdays.]

Much put out a press release today that finally officially announces its summer plans for Degrassi.  The interesting part is of course the information about season 13:

*********
But viewers won’t have to wait long to catch up with the remaining DEGRASSI students! With three fresh, new faces – the fierce and fashion-forward Zoë Rivas (Ana Golja), athlete and former prep-school kid Miles Hollingsworth III (Eric Osborne), and sarcastic wingman Winston “Chewy” Chu (Andre Kim) – the summer chapter of DEGRASSI begins July 11 in special, hour-long episode that kicks off a brand-new timeslot, Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET. Then, on July 18 immediately following DEGRASSI at 8:30 p.m. ET, MuchMusic launches the all-new, 30-minute DEGRASSI after-show, featuring exclusive interviews with cast members.the summer chapter of DEGRASSI begins July 11 in special, hour-long episode that kicks off a brand-new timeslot, Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.

I’m leery of the 8pm timeslot listed in this release because Much’s press info has been going back and forth between that and 9pm.  There’s also the fact that TeenNick will be airing the summer episodes at 9pm.
