Today, CP24 brings a fresh approach to news with the debut of two new half-hour programs: CP24’s LIVE AT 5 and LIVE AT 5:30. CP24’s lead anchor, Ann Rohmer, anchors tonight’s inaugural CP24 LIVE AT 5 newscast featuring CP24’s team of resourceful reporters bringing viewers breaking Toronto news stories, traffic and transit, weather and sports, along with national and international news stories. Melissa Grelo helms CP24 LIVE AT 5:30, bringing Torontonians the news they need when and where they need it.
In response to CityTV’s announcement that they are restructuring broadcast operations, including eliminating their 5 p.m. newscast today, CP24 has announced it will fill the void for Toronto.
“Toronto deserves a 5 p.m. local newscast,” said Bob McLaughlin, Vice President and General Manager of CP24. “CP24 now gives our viewers a chance to watch at home or listen in the car from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. LIVE AT 5 and LIVE AT 5:30 is all part of our ongoing commitment to give Torontonians the news when they want it.”
CP24’s TalkTV programming will be accommodated with new primetime timeslots offering more opportunity for viewers to catch popular shows such as “Wylde on Health”, “Animal House Calls” “Webnation”, “Hot Property, and others.
