That’s a lot more than we get in Australia
Zero local morning news (not even a 30 minute bulletin) even in markets with 5 million plus
Zero local 11pm news
Zero local streaming news channels
Canada has at least a dozen local morning news and streaming channels I think?
But gotta say asking Netflix to fund local tv news in Canada is pretty whack
Let’s do a quick tally (not counting repeats)
Local morning:
CTV - Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Toronto (CP24), Ottawa (CTV2), Atlantic (CTV2)
Global - (Mon-Sun) BC, Calgary, Edmonton; (Weekdays - hybrid local/national) Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax
Citytv - Toronto
CHCH - Hamilton/Toronto
Streaming channels:
CTV - CP24 (free broadcast on CTVNewsToronto.ca and CP24.com)
Global - BC, Okanagan, Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Kingston, Peterborough, Montreal, Halifax
CBC - BC, Toronto
CityNews - Vancouver, Alberta, Winnipeg, Toronto
TVN Chile’s news bulletins are renamed, now putting the 24 Horas brand front and centre. The graphics changed a bit too: The big yellow clock in daytime bulletins is gone (ed 25/11: Reinstated in blue-on-white since mid-October), and the headline super is now white throughout the day.
The 9pm news reverted to their old name, 24 Horas Central:
Late night bulletin 24 Noche is now 24 Horas al Cierre (“at closing time”).
24AM, the morning news, is now 24 Horas Tu Mañana (“your morning”), returning to their 2014-19 name:
And 24 Tarde (lunchtime news) is now 24 Horas Al Día (“up to date”) - a name they used from 2004 to 2017.
WPLG ABC Miami’s new studio (with semi-familiar 10 logo).
NZ-style set there with the long video wall and desk stuck in the middle.
It does give off TVNZ vibes.
Not a fan, it’s just a big video wall and a spaceship looking desk, might be the latest technology but it’s dark and cold. There should be a riser along the screen and some type of lighting grid / feature above the video wall otherwise it’s just a black abyss above there.
Tonight was the final day of Global Okanagan newscasts being presented locally from its studios in Kelowna. Starting on Monday, all Global Okanagan newscasts will be presented from the Global BC studios in Vancouver.
In addition, the weekly 5 PM news hour will be truncated to 30 minutes, and will start at 5:30 PM. The 6:30 PM and 11 PM weekday newscasts will remain, however judging from how other smaller Global stations are doing their evening news, the 6:30 and 11 PM will be repeats/edited versions of the 5:30 broadcast. As well, Global Okanagan has lost its weekend newscasts and will be simulcasting Global BC’s weekend news.
Below is the (emotional) sign off from Global Okanagan’s 5 PM anchor Jamie Tawil.

I know in Australia there’s a lot of viewers here used to having their local TV news being presented from elsewhere, but for viewers in Canada (especially in Western Canada where Global is popular/dominant), it’s odd for an outside anchor to be presenting their local news.
Per the other thread, this is how Brazilian TV reported Santos’ death…
SBT, his own network, broke the news by their Saturday deputy anchor, Simone Queiroz.
Their special coverage bumped the station into second place, surpassing Record’s morning news, Fala Brasil.
Globo cut into an extended edition of Jornal Hoje from daytime show É de Casa, like how ITV ended This Morning early to report on Prince Philip’s death:
Band opted in BandNews from their motor show for the coverage.
RedeTV seems to keep running infomercials until TV Fama, the Brazilian ET counterpart, came on air:
CNN Brasil’s initial annoucement. They’ve been in Breaking News mode through the rest of the day, with the ticker repurposed and a dedicated vinheta to send their tributes:
and TV Brasil’s Repórter Brasil led the report with the officials’ response.
Hello!
Sharing with you an update regarding the Philippine newscast TV Patrol, which airs there in Australia on SBS (as the official Filipino language newscast, alongside the English language newscast The World Tonight, which also airs on the network).
On Friday, Henry Omaga-Diaz, one of the newscast’s main anchors, has made his goodbye to the program (and to ABS-CBN News after more than 30 years and in journalism for more than 40 years) to move to Canada and fulfil a family promise. Here is the tribute made by ABS-CBN to him voiced by the lead anchor, Noli de Castro.
On Sunday, Alvin Elchico, the longtime weekend newsreader, made an announcement that he will be having back the weekend off as he is elevated as part of the four-anchor team (yes, Virginia, we have FOUR anchors!) on the weekday newscast, led by Noli de Castro, Karen Davila, and Bernadette Sembrano
And here is the updated Open of the Weeknight edition featuring Elchico and using the previous shots of him from the weekend edition (courtesy of the Medyo Media FB page)
Elchico is a long time ABS-CBN veteran who also does radio newscasts. (he was from the defunct DZMM 630 AM Radyo Patrol reporting team and is also one of the anchors of the Breakfast program with Doris Bigornia on DWPM 630 AM, the replacement station of DZMM)
Global Toronto is (finally) moving into the 5 PM timeslot. They are expanding their evening news schedule with an hour at 5 PM, and 30 minutes at 6 PM, with Global National at 6:30.
The timeslot is already occupied by CityNews/CityPulse, CP24, most recently CFTO/CTV, and previously CBC. Global has always started their evening news block at 5:30, so it’ll be interesting to see if they can make any sort of inroads there.
So which Global markets retain the “traditional” news format vs the playlist/loop style?
I’m assuming just Vancouver and Toronto?
IIRC global struggles in Toronto - I wonder if this is a last ditch attempt before cutting things in that market as well.
Actually Global Toronto has already converted all of their newscasts (morning, noon, 11 PM, weekends) to their MMC (playlist) format. The 5 PM/5:30 and 6 PM news are the only live newscasts on Global Toronto.
Global BC still has all of their newscasts live. Global Edmonton and Calgary went MMC on weekends last month, but otherwise all their weekday newscasts are still live. I believe Global Montreal and Global Halifax have a portion of their morning and supper hour newscasts still live.
Some news coming from Polish TVP… Their 19.30 bulletin is joined by a sister afternoon counterpart, 14.30, on TVP Info and TVP3. This is a side-by-side for the premiere:
The news channel is also getting a pan-regional breakfast and late-night programme (think how Good Morning Britain and Good Evening Britain were related, but with local news). This is the opener for the former, Polska o poranku (Poland in the Morning):
And this is the latter, Polska nocą (Polish Night):
Also, their late night news, Panorama, is pulled from TVP2 to solely air over there, adding a 15-minute 6pm edition in the process. Details here.
NEWS UPDATE:
A brand new news channel is launched in the Philippines: The BILYONARYO NEWS CHANNEL or BNC
Yes, it translates to the “Billionaire News Channel”.
But the name is not just because it is aimed at Billionaires: It is the news channel counterpart of Philippine business news website Bilyonaryo, which does translate to “Billionaire”.
At first, the business news website catered to, well, Philippine billionaires, but it evolved into a major newsbreaker and a scoop getter in Philippine journalism. It has broken scoops and stories that are considred market moving and agenda setting. And it is in their brand that they are now aiming to bring into news broadcasting.
Bilyonaryo is managed by Prage Management, who also operates websites such as Politiko, and also Philippine tabloid Abante (which, also of note, is also operating a Radio Station, DWAR 1494 AM).
The personalities of BNC are mostly coming from the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC), like Mai Rodriguez, Maiki Oreta, and Raine Musngi, as well as Paolo del Rosario from One News.
But their flagship program is anchored by two former ABS-CBN stalwarts, Korina Sanchez (who is enjoying her status as a network freelancer), and Pinky Webb (who later joined the shuttered CNN Philippines) and is titled as “Agenda”..
Except for Agenda, which is in Filipino, the News Channel mostly airs in English.
BNC is available in the Philippines through Digital Terrestrial TV and Pay TV via Cignal TV and Converge Vision. Full on demand newscasts are available on their YouTube page.
BNC is a new entry in the country’s crowded news channel landscape, where we have ANC, One News, One PH, Teleradyo Serbisyo and even Global News Network (GNN) of GSat.
Here is the official Station Identification of BNC
And here is the pilot broadcast of Agenda last Monday.
Is the post a release from them or?
That end board 
nope, not a release hahaha, maybe it’s my writing style that it looks like its a release, though they reported the launch in the weeks leading up to it.
Quite strange for this move, tbh. Usually most national TV stations around the world would air their news programs on their flagship channel. TVP has Program Pierwszy (TVP1) as the flagship and also the most-essential channel nationwide, but they don’t want to screen the mid-afternoon 14:30 bulletin there, and brought that to TVP3, a regional-themed channel (while still maintain the main screening at TVP Info). Seems like the TVP managers don’t want to practicing the hour ranging or airings as Wiadomości previously had
An update on the NRK Nyheter rebrand: Returning for the Fall season, Debatten, the Norweigian public broadcaster’s debate programme, has a new orange/blue look:
About a week later and after the Harris-Trump debate, Urix, their international news analysis programme, has a magenta opener.
Some photos from the latter (because the video was too brief!):
(From this Tweet)
Dutch public broadcaster NOS adds news bulletin spoken in simpler language to NPO1, targeting at elderly, people with learning disabulities and non-native speakers.
Details here:
Around the Low Countries, Dutch-language Belgian broadcaster VTM has launched a new brand identity, and with it came a modified open, new supers and a new virtual set for their news bulletin, VTM Nieuws.
Details for the revamp can be seen here:
Honestly, I preferred their predecessor. With both the set and graphics designed by Gedeon when they moved their studios to Antwerp in 2020, the former looked more lively, and the latter flowed more seamlessly to the physical center screen.
In Mexico, Televisa’s news channel is now N+ Foro, named after the brand that spun off from their merger with Univision 2 years ago. New style of promos and bumpers have been rolled out:
Yet, the lower thirds, introduced last year and with a not-so-subtle nod to CNN’s current graphics, were slightly updated with the new logo.
