In markets with hour-long late newscasts, The Late Show is tape-delayed to air at the top of the hour instead. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada , a single pan-regional newscast, presented from Toronto, has replaced the individual noon newscasts on Global Toronto, CHEX, CKWS, and Global Montreal. Centralization of news presentation has been partially reverted as of January 2019. 11:00 p.m. newscasts east of Manitoba are still anchored from Toronto. Global Regina, Global Saskatoon, and Global Winnipeg no longer use Toronto anchors for their 10:00 p.m. local newscasts. Further decentralization has occurred as of March 2021, with

Reeb also explained that

Headline News's audio feed was popular among some all-news stations, particularly after the AP disbanded the format in 2005, until the TV network decided in 2006 to abandon its all-news format and add talk-show programming in prime time , when many smaller stations do not have air staff and rely on a network feed.
