Canada Now



         


Canada Now is a news program on the main English television network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The show was created to replace the regular supper-hour newscasts on the CBC's owned-and-operated local television stations in the late 1990s, as a result of cuts to the CBC's budget. The hour-long newscast is divided into two thirty-minute subprograms. One is national in scope, and is anchored by Ian Hanomansing; the other is regional, varying from station to station, anchored by the stations' local anchors, just like the previous local newscasts. The national half of Canada Now is also broadcast on CBC Newsworld, and some of the various regional inserts are also seen on the CBC's digital specialty channel Country Canada. CBC's privately-owned affiliates do not broadcast Canada Now; instead they produce their own local newscasts.
