The Canadian network GLOBAL moves deeper into the streaming arena. Over the past few years GLOBAL centralized their news operations across Canada in a cost savings move saving millions. Then a few years ago they launched the 24 hr local news channel Global BC1 for all of British Columbia alongside their Global stations in the province. This was supposed to be the nucleus of a 24 hr news channel to rival CTV and CBC. Never really went any where. So instead they opted to follow the CBSN Local model and jump headlong into the OTT Streaming arena and launch a string of local news channels and 1 national streaming news channel. GLOBAL NEWS LIVE.
You can watch it here. To get a full sense of what the channels feel like on telly. Use in full screen. There is a feature in which you can shut off the live stream feature and it will go into juke-box mode and pull the latest top news story videos.

The channel is basically un-anchored and features a jukebox-style reports featured from each station's newscasts and then when there is breaking news or a live event such a prime minister, premier, provincial or municipal presser, those are taken live and streamed in their entirety.
There are 17 channels, 16 local and one national channel.
The channel features a CP24-style "enriched screen" format with local weather and headlines, local twitter stream stocks and sports ticker. GLOBAL certainly doesnt have the money of CBS to launch anchored local channels like CBSN, but with the launch this year of the GLOBAL TV app they are making a name for themselves and planting their flag in the streaming world.
Additionally Global rebranded the majority of their news talk radio stations across the entire country to GLOBAL NEWS RADIO to solidify the Global News brand in various Canadian cities.
