Looks that means they are doing some local news cuts 5pm news in most areas was an hour, Toronto they simulcast CP24 at 5 and 5:30pm .  Interesting to see them also wanting to compete with a national newscast, it's been interesting to me that Canada national newscasts aren't on against each other, compared to the US (in most markets) and ITV and BBC having national news both at ten. Good to see Sandie Rinaldo getting a promotion.

Right now, the local 5 PM newscasts are staying put, it's just that they'll only be 30 minutes long now instead of 1 hour.

The CP24 5:30 newscast also might continue on CP24 only while CFTO/CTV Toronto airs the new 5:30 show. CP24 has their own 11 PM newscast when CTV National News at 11 is on.

There's 2 stations that will be impacted more than the others:

- CTV Atlantic: will they be getting a 5:30 PM Atlantic time edition, or simulcast with the CTV stations in the eastern time zone and air it at 6:30 PM Atlantic time? This will affect either their highly popular 5 PM news magazine, or their equally popular 6 PM news cast.

- NTV Newfoundland: That station carries CTV News programming mixed in with Global's news and entertainment programming. Global National airs at 7 PM NT/6:30 PM AT/5:30 PM ET. Is NTV going to carry the new CTV 5:30 show? If so, does Global National move to 7:30, or be off of NTV's schedule completely? If there's a 5:30 PM AT edition created, does that mean NTV carries it at 6 PM in place of their highly popular Evening News Hour?
