CTV News
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CTV News is the news division of the CTV Television Network in Canada, and the name of the local and regional newscasts on the network's owned-and-operated stations.

[edit] National programs
CTV News produces the following national programs:
- CTV National News, the nightly newscast anchored by Lloyd Robertson (weekdays) and Sandie Rinaldo (weekends);
- Canada AM, a morning news and entertainment program anchored by two separate presenting teams (one for Eastern Canada and one for Western Canada);
- Good Morning Canada, a weekend morning program with rotating anchors;
- W-FIVE, a weekly newsmagazine series;
- Question Period, a weekly news and interview series.
CTV News also operates a 24-hour news channel, CTV Newsnet, and a 24-hour business news channel, Business News Network, both of which are available across Canada on cable and satellite.
[edit] Local programs
Local programs use the title CTV News on the air. In most markets, local CTV News programs air at noon, 6 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on weekdays, as well as local news updates during Canada AM, and at 6 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on weekends.
National aggregate ratings are published by A. C. Nielsen under the name CTV Evening News.
Local CTV News programs are produced in the following markets:
- Calgary (CFCN)
- Edmonton (CFRN)
- Greater Sudbury (CICI)
- Halifax (CJCH)
- Kitchener (CKCO)
- Montreal (CFCF)
- Ottawa (CJOH)
- Regina (CKCK)
- Saskatoon (CFQC)
- Toronto (CFTO)
- Vancouver (CIVT)
- Winnipeg (CKY)
CTV O&Os in smaller markets air a newscast produced in one of the larger markets noted above, although some may also produce a shorter local news insert aired during a break in the main market's program.
CTV's private affiliates in Lloydminster and Thunder Bay produce their own local newscasts, which are not branded as CTV News, although they do air CTV's national news programming. One American station, WZRA in Oldsmar, Florida, also carries Canada AM and CTV National News.
In addition, CTVglobemedia owns and operates CablePulse 24, a local 24-hour news channel based in Toronto which is available across Southern Ontario via cable and across Canada via satellite. However, CTV does not currently program CP24, and the station currently shares news resources with Citytv Toronto (which is now owned by Rogers Communications; both stations were under common ownership by CHUM Limited until 2007). CP24 is expected to become a division of CTV News in fall 2008, sharing news resources with CTV Toronto and CTV Newsnet.
