CTV Newsnet gets CRTC approval to modify license
By Adnews Staff
Toronto-based specialty channel CTV Newsnet has received approval from the CRTC to amend its license. The changes will release the channel from its previous 15-minute news wheel format and allow it to broadcast a limited amount of news analysis and interpretation. The commission said it was persuaded by CTV's argument that in order to attract viewers in an environment that includes more foreign news sources, CTV Newsnet needs the flexibility to air breaking news without having to revert to a two-minute headline news segment every 15 minutes. The channel applied to modify its license last August. CTV Newsnet is wholly owned by CTV, which is a division of Bell Globemedia.
