On Saturday night at 6:40 PM four blocks from where we live, there was another gang shooting. We didn't hear the shots but heard about all the police that were in attendance. One person was shot and killed. At 11:00 PM, I put on Global BC News. No reporting of this event hours before.
I've seen the changes in Global News. They replay the 6:00 PM news at 11:00 PM! No new news. If you've seen the news at 6, you've seen it all for the rest of the day.
The traffic helicopter is gone. They pick up clips from Drive BC! Journalists out on the field are fewer. I googled it and this is what I found:
In September 2025, they laid off 45-46 employees, primarily in B.C. and Alberta, including 26 journalists. These cuts, part of a "restructuring" due to falling ad revenues and high debt, follow multiple rounds of layoffs in 2023 and 2024, including the closure of some local stations.
We started watching BBC news at 10 PM or 11 PM. We see what happened overnight in the middle east. The news from the US is not filtered as it is on Fox, CNN, and MS Now. We get our US news from this network. There was a very interesting interview today from some of the Epstein survivors. They will never appear on US TV.
Good-bye Global, we've enjoyed your news for years. Hello City TV, CBC or CTV. We will check them all and see which one we like best. I'm leaning toward Ian Hanomansing as he's a great news anchor.
