Catto has explained the balancing act she and her colleagues must tread, in choosing productions to fund that help preserve a Canadian identity.[2][3][4][5]
In a profile in Playback magazine Catto described how her team had a mandate to take risks, when taking CBC programming in a new direction.[5] The profile offered the recently broadcast Book of Negroes miniseries as an example of the success of this new initiative.
Prior to joining the CBC Catto worked as a lawyer, and as a literary agent.[5] Prior to taking on responsibility for all programming Catto was a producer for several well-reviewed series, including Intelligence and Murdoch Mysteries.
