CBC Newsworld

CBC Newsworld is a 24-hour cable television news channel operated by CBC. It is the world's second-oldest television service of this nature, after CNN. The channel initially began broadcasting on July 31, 1989, and it originally broadcast from studios in several different Canadian cities, reflecting the coast-to-coast nature of the service.

Budget cuts eventually forced CBC Newsworld to centralize most of its operations in Toronto.

Some of CBC Newsworld's programming also airs on Newsworld International, a American cable news network owned by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt. Newsworld International was originally owned and operated by the CBC, but was sold to Vivendi Universal in 1997, although CBC continued to provide the network's programming.
