CTV Newsnet CTV Newsnet is a 24-hour headline news television channel in Canada. It is operated by CTV and owned by Bell Globemedia. It was originally known as CTV News1, and its anchors sat at a desk which would periodically, while the anchor was not speaking, spin in a circle for dramatic effect. This gimmick was widely mocked, and soon abandoned. At first, the network's license restricted it to broadcasting the headline news and other informational segments advertisements in a 15 minute "wheel," beginning a new cycle every 15 minutes. The network progressively sought amendments to this condition to allow greater coverage of breaking news, longer-form news-oriented discussion, and other programming, and was met with mixed decisions from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. On April 7, 2005, the Commission removed previous conditions mandating a 15 minute news cycle, substituting new but much more liberal conditions. [1] The channel is seen as the Canadian counterpart to CNN Headline News. External linkThe contents of this article are licensed from Wikipedia.org under the GNU Free Documentation License.
