Fiktiv Canada - Corus - Global News

Global News 1 is a Canadian English language specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment. The channel lanuched on April 1, 2016. The network provides around-the-clock national and regional news and information.

As of 2018, Global News 1 operates local feeds in all 15 markets where Global currently operates conventional television stations. The Toronto feed is carried on most satellite providers.

Global News 1 features a national newsfeed bookended by local news segments tailored specifically for each of the markets it serves. Using next-generation technology, the service is framed by a continuous data feed of hyper-local headlines and community events. With the ability to cover live, breaking news at the local, regional or national level, Global News 1 is like no other service on the dial.

When there’s nothing breaking on the national, regional or local level, local news is about 3-4 minutes long at the top and bottom of the hour, bookending the national feed.

But when things happen, that can all be changed. The local feed can break away to cover a mayor’s press conference. The Ontario feeds could break away to cover events at Queen’s Park.

The network's reporters can edit and file their stories from the field, and even anchor local segments remotely. Stories wouldn’t have to wait for local newscasts, but could be inserted into local feeds once they’re done.

Global News: BC 1 (often referred to as BC 1) is a Canadian English language specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment and operated alongside the Corus-owned Global Television Network's Vancouver owned-and-operated television station CHAN-DT (Global BC). The channel primarily broadcast local news for the province of British Columbia. The channel's branding is derived from the Global network and its news division Global News. It broadcasts from CHAN-DT's studios on 7850 Enterprise Street in Burnaby.

On January 11, 2012, Shaw Media announced its intention to launch a 24-hour local news channel for the province of British Columbia (the first regional news channel in Canada located outside of Ontario), that would be operated alongside Global's Vancouver station CHAN-DT, with an expected launch date of summer 2012.

The channel was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on July 20, 2012 under the tentative name "Global News Plus BC". It was described as "a regional, English-language specialty Category B service that will offer a mix of local and regional news, traffic, weather, business, sports and entertainment information devoted to serving residents of British Columbia, with a special focus on the Vancouver/Victoria Extended Market, as defined by the Broadcast Bureau of Measurement (BBM) Canada." On the same day, Shaw Media announced its revised plan to launch the channel in early 2013 under the new name "Global News: BC 1".

On August 30, 2012, Global BC posted a statement about Global News: BC 1, which had expected to be launched in January 2013, claiming it "will provide viewers across the province with top local and regional stories" and will become an "important component of Global News' Digital First objective." The launch would later be delayed to March 14, 2013. The channel soft launched on March 14 at 8:00 a.m. PDT (14:00 UTC) and officially launched one hour later at 9:00 a.m. PT with the debut of the show AM/BC.

On April 1, 2016, Global News: BC 1's parent company Shaw Media (which also included parent network Global and 18 other specialty channels) was sold to Corus Entertainment. The station also earned 4 radio stations for sister networks.

Global News: BC1 contains an 'L-frame' display at the bottom and right side of the channel's screen, which carries the day's top news headlines, weather, sports scores, and market indices, with regular banner ads interspersed. The channel simulcasts existing local news programming from Global BC—seven and a half hours a day during the week and five and a half hours daily on weekends. The channel does not carry any news programs produced by Global Okanagan—another Global owned-and-operated station serving the Okanagan region of British Columbia, although their reporters and anchors fill in and provide stories.

BC1 features live programming on weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. or weekends from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. The service draws content from Global News in Vancouver and Okanagan (although no newscasts produce from the latter newsroom are aired on BC1). It simulcasts Global News Morning, Global News at Noon, Global News at 5, Global News Hour at 6, Global News at 11 and Global National. Outside these simulcasts, BC1 primarily uses half-hour "news wheels" updated throughout the day, but pre-recorded programming can be interrupted for coverage of live events and breaking news when needed.

BC1 airs blocks of live news daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., 1:00 to 2:30 p.m., 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 to 11:00 p.m. ET, which is then incorporated into their "news wheel". Weekend live coverage is branded as BC 1 News Weekend. During the overnight hours, BC 1 replays Global News at 11, Global National and two of its own newscasts.

The channel also airs a half-hour current affairs program Top Story, which airs at 9:30 p.m. on weekdays.
