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?
I know NTV is a legacy station for Newfoundland. But its so weird they dont have a split schedule for both networks. Using NTV+ as the GLOBAL feed . NTV GLobal or something. Or GLOBAL and CTV opening their own stations..even if they dont do news to begin with, as its very expensive. NTV has a odd look for 2023. They need a simplified logo. It would be fine without the stars and globe and the gold shine. Or even if they keep the stars the globe and the gold shine needs to go. And the news graphics are mess. Using the CTV lower third. And the set needs some serious help.
