The CTV Vancouver Island newsroom is taking a new approach to delivering news to islanders, launching a live newscast weekdays at 4:30 p.m.
Traditionally, Canadian television stations stick to the 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. timeslots for the biggest stories of the day, but the expansion of news availability on multiple platforms has news consumers growing accustomed to accessing content 24 hours a day.
“We recognize that islanders are connecting with our content in a big way, and we want to make it even more convenient for them to access it, on all of our platforms.” “Greater Victoria’s workforce, demographics, viewing habits and varying industries, combine to make this in many ways an “early city,” with traffic picking up in the 4 p.m. hour and people arriving home at 4:30 p.m., ready to see what they missed during the day.”
Johnson joined the Vancouver Island news team in 2007 and departed CTV Vancouver Island in 2022, to join the team at CTV Vancouver, after 14 years in the island newsroom.
