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, 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.
