CityNews is the title of local television newscasts currently seen on CITY-TV Toronto, Canada. It premiered on September 12, 1977 under the name CityPulse, then spread to Citytv stations in other cities across Canada. Due to severe financial issues, as of January 19, 2010, the only station that continues to air Citytv news programming is CITY-TV Toronto. The local newscasts at CHMI Winnipeg, CKAL Calgary, CKEM Edmonton and CKVU Vancouver have been cancelled outright, with the exception of the morning show Breakfast Television, but the length of that show has been reduced in all markets to three hours, though as of September 2011, each of the Breakfast Television programs have expanded to 3½ hours.^[1][2]

CityNews Toronto

History

CityPulse at Six open titles, 2003

The newscast, originally known as CityPulse, was first shown in Toronto on September 12, 1976 as a pilot episode, and the first episode aired on September 12, 1977. On August 1, 2005, the last newscast to use the CityPulse title aired and it was renamed CityNews the next day. While the station often claims that it was the "first" news show to abandon the traditional anchor desk, this was not true, as CBS News in the United States had done this as early as the 1950s under Edward R. Murrow. Its main innovation in television news was to have its reporters play a more participatory role in their stories.

By the mid-1980s, the newscast's style, pioneered by Moses Znaimer, was promoted as a "format" for local news shows to copy around North America. The show has also been duplicated by other television stations owned by CHUM Limited as well, and its format has been licensed to several television stations around the world, such as Citytv Barcelona and Citytv Bogotá.

Until 1987, the anchors on CityPulse sat behind an anchor desk in a dark studio with two orange-red-black striped beams and a television set between the two anchors. CityPulse at Six was anchored by Gord Martineau and Dini Petty for much of the years from 1980 to 1987. Weather presenters in that era include CHUM Radio veteran Jay Nelson, Brian Hill, Greg Rist, and David Onley. Sports anchors included Jim McKenny, Russ Salzberg, John Saunders, Debbie Van Kiekebelt, and Ann Rohmer.

CityPulse Tonight, originally known as CityPulse at 10 prior to 1981, was anchored by Bill Cameron, later by Gord Martineau, and then Anne Mroczkowski. In 1987, Mroczkowski moved to the supper-hour show to co-anchor with Martineau. J.D. (John) Roberts began his news anchoring career as anchor of CityPulse Tonight after several years as an entertainment reporter and MuchMusic video jockey.

On May 4, 1987, CityPulse moved into another newsroom set back at 299 Queen Street West in Toronto, following the move of the station's operations from 99 Queen Street East.

CityNews opening titles from 2005

By March 2008, CityNews Toronto was struggling in the ratings, coming in third (with an average of 100,000 viewers) after CTV (326,000 viewers) and Global (126,000). On January 21, 2008, CityNews at 5 debuted, drawing a scant 1% share of the Toronto market at 5 p.m.^[3]

In July 2008, Rogers filed an application with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a separate 24-hour news station to be affiliated with Citytv Toronto, and to be known as CityNews (Toronto). The application was approved on December 10, 2008.^[4] The new station will be in direct competition with CP24 when it is launched in October 2011, and its name is planned to be CityNews Channel.^[5]

In December 2008, Citytv laid off several employees. Notably, the entire CityNews Entertainment unit was eliminated. Entertainment reporters Larysa Harapyn and Liz West were released, and entertainment stories are now read by the anchor(s).

In September 2009, Citytv moved into its current newsroom at 33 Dundas Street East (Yonge-Dundas Square) in the heart of downtown Toronto.

On January 19, 2010, CityNews at Noon, CityOnline and CityNews at Five were cancelled as part of layoffs and restructuring within the Citytv stations. Many long-time CityNews on-air personalities, including Anne Mroczkowski and Laura DiBattista, were let go.

Citytv Toronto reinstated the 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts on Saturday and Sunday evenings on March 5, 2011, with Pam Seatle anchoring the 6 p.m. newscast, and Melanie Ng anchoring at 11 p.m. On September 5, 2011 Citytv Toronto also reinstated CityNews at Five with anchors Francis D'Souza, Tom Hayes and Avery Haines. The following day on September 6, 2011, Breakfast Television on all five of Citytv's owned-and-operated stations expanded to three-and-a-half hours, from 5:30-9 a.m.

CityNews on CP24

Main article: CP24

Prior to 2008, CityNews and local cable news channel, CP24 were a combined operation sharing the same newsroom and studio space at 299 Queen Street West. CP24 simulcasted Citytv news programs such as Breakfast Television and CityNews. CP24 also reran most CityNews programming immediately after it was done airing live.

In July 2006, Bell Globemedia (now CTVglobemedia) announced a bid to purchase Citytv/CP24's parent company, CHUM Limited. A year later, the CRTC approved the sale on the condition that the Citytv stations be sold. Shortly after, the sale of Citytv stations to Rogers Communications was finalized.

For a short period, things remained the same; Citytv anchors continued to anchor and contribute to CP24 and shows were simulcast between the two channels until CTV/Rogers announced the restructuring of its employees between to two channels beginning in November 2007, such as the hiring of new CP24-only and CityNews-only personalities.

In November 2008, CP24 moved most of its operations from its original newsroom, shared with Citytv, to a new state-of-the-art newsroom on the second floor with windows facing Queen Street West and at the same time CP24 unveiled a new look to its on-screen format. CP24 continued to simulcast CityNews programming up until December 10, 2008, when CTV pulled almost all Citytv news programming with the exception of Breakfast Television. That night, CTV News at Six replaced CityNews at Six, which had remained in place since the channel began broadcasting in 1998, critics had speculated that the latter change was due to the CRTC's approval of Citytv Toronto planning on launching CityNews Channel. One of the final ties was severed on March 26, 2009, when CP24 dropped its simulcast of Breakfast Television and launched its own morning show, CP24 Breakfast.

Following the layoffs at the Citytv stations announced on January 19, 2010, CP24 extended its Live at 5 broadcast from 15 minutes to 30, and also launched another half-hour newscast, Live at 5:30.

CityNews Weather

CityNews is the only newscast in Canada that operates its own weather monitoring stations^[6] across the Greater Toronto Area. In addition to 20 weather stations, CityNews introduced a CityNews Weather LiveEye, a mobile unit that can monitor the weather anywhere.^[7]

On June 21, 2007, CityNews launched "CityNews Weather Online", a desktop program that is more convenient than accessing their website. The program includes features to alert the user when a weather watch or warning is issued.

In November 2008, CityNews launched Citynews Weather Webcast, which are video weather forecasts recorded each day by one of the weather team members.

CityNews Webcast

On February 14, 2007, CityNews created the CityNews Webcast, a downloadable news podcast based in Toronto. There are currently three Webcasts uploaded on weekdays: in the morning, presented by Kevin Frankish from Breakfast Television; in the afternoon, presented by CityNews at Six anchor Gord Martineau; and the final Webcast in the evening, presented by the anchor hosting CityNews Tonight.

Theme music and opens

The CityPulse newscast originally began with the instrumental version of "Masterpiece" by The Temptations. In 1979, it was changed to "Gotta Fly Now" by Maynard Ferguson. The theme for CityPulse Tonight continued to be "Masterpiece" until the early 1980s. In the mid-1980s until the early 1990s, "Pentatus" by Graham Shaw was used as the theme music for CityPulse Tonight. The current theme is a custom-composed music piece.

CityNews Channel

Main article: CityNews Channel

On May 30, 2011, Rogers announced the upcoming launch of CityNews Channel, a 24 hour news network based in Toronto that would bring together resources from a number of Rogers-owned news and media properties, including CityNews, 680 News radio, and Maclean’s magazine. The channel will be launching on October 3, 2011, and will feature "an enriched and interactive screen format," likely similar to that of Bell Media's CP24, the new channel's main competitor.^[8]

On October 3rd, CItyNews launched the CityNews Channel bringing the same format as 680News. Traffic & Weather together on the :1s, Sports at :15 and :45 and Business at :26 and :56 past the hour. The anchors at the channel will be rotating. From 5:30am-Midnight CityNews Channel will be on the air. From Midnight-5:30am it will be an audio of 680News featuring live shots through the eyes cameras.

CityNews in other markets

CityPulse was launched in Vancouver in 2002 when CKVU-TV was re-named Citytv Vancouver. With the expansion of Citytv from two to five stations in August 2005, the newscasts on all five Citytv stations were renamed CityNews.

On July 12, 2006, coincident with the announcement of CTVglobemedia's plans to take over CHUM Limited, all prime-time CityNews programs, with the exception of those on CITY in Toronto, were immediately cancelled, with 281 CHUM employees across the country laid off. On CKAL and CKEM, CityNews at Six and CityNews Tonight was replaced with a new half-hour newsmagazine called Your City. CHMI had been slated to launch its own version in January according to a news release,^[9] but it has not materialized. CKVU's newscasts have not been replaced, although a noon newscast based on the Breakfast Television format called Lunch Television was launched in early 2009. CityNews at Noon in Calgary and Edmonton, and Lunch Television in Vancouver continued until January 19, 2010.

When the show made the transition to CityNews, it lost multiple features, such as the CityPulse Webtest, which had existed since the 1980s as a phone-in contest. The new format on CHMI, which previously was called A-Channel News (which is now used by CTVglobemedia's A stations, under the name A News), had lost nearly half of its audience for the 6 p.m. newscast before its cancellation.

On June 8, 2007, the CRTC approved the CTV takeover of CHUM. However, the five Citytv stations could not be sold to CTVglobemedia due to concentration of media ownership regulations. On June 11, Rogers Communications announced that it would buy the five Citytv stations from CTVglobemedia. The sale was approved on September 28 and became official on October 31, 2007. CTVglobemedia retained ownership of CP24, the 24 hour Toronto local news station that shared many programs and personalities with Toronto's Citytv station, including CityNews.

On January 19, 2010, Your City, based in CKEM-TV Edmonton and CKAL-TV Calgary, Lunch Television, and the comedy show The CityNews List on CKVU-TV Vancouver were also cancelled. In Winnipeg, the news part of Breakfast Television is called CityNews.

The Jim Pattison Group stations CFJC-TV, CKPG-TV, and CHAT-TV do not produce Breakfast Television or CityNews. In fact, despite keeping the same names and logos used as affiliates of the E! system, they do not bear the Citytv branding.

Former programs

CityNews International

Soon after the cancellation of the local CityNews broadcasts in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg in 2008, a new half-hour program called CityNews International was launched. The program was produced in the Citytv Toronto studios and featured many of the same on-air personalities as the local Citytv Toronto's CityNews. CityNews International aired at 6:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. in Calgary and Edmonton. In Winnipeg, it ran at 11:00 p.m., and in Vancouver at 6 p.m. and 11:35 p.m. In Toronto, Citytv aired the newscast at 11:35 p.m. CityNews International was canceled during the 2010 cuts.

Your City

The replacement program in Calgary and Edmonton for the evening/late-evening program was a magazine type of show called Your City.

The show aired five nights a week at 6:00 p.m., with a repeat at 11:00 p.m. The format of the show consisted of a top story, a report about theatre or other cultural life, various restaurant and wine reviews and an assortment of other general interest stories.

CityNews at Noon

The noon newscast aired in Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton. It was hosted by Francis D'Souza and Laura DiBattista in Toronto, Asha Tomlinson in Edmonton and Aisling Slattery in Calgary.

CityOnLine

A lunchtime half-hour talk show about Toronto news and current affairs aired weekdays at 12:30 p.m., following Toronto's CityNews at Noon. The show encouraged audience participation with its a phone-in format. Viewers could also e-mail and vote on a daily phone poll.

CityOnLine was hosted by Kris Reyes. Previous hosts included Ann Rohmer (CP24), Tracy Moore (CityLine), and Laura DiBattista (CBC Radio).

Lunch Television

Lunch Television was hosted by Kyle Donaldson and Michel McDermott and aired in the Vancouver market.
