Citytv
premiered on September 28, 1972, adding an original and progressive
voice to television broadcasting and immediately gaining attention for
its unique, information and entertainment driven format. In an industry
where the pressures for sameness appeared overwhelming, Citytv
brought a radically different look, sound and feel to
television--quickly becoming known as the youthful, urban and hip spot
on the dial.
Citytv's unique combination of
extremely cost-effective, original programming, and high-energy,
award-winning news and lifestyle coverage is now heralded
internationally as the television of the future. Our newsroom's
mission: To tell the stories that touch hearts, as well as minds.
The CityNews staff
is dedicated to bringing viewers "A day in the life of Toronto" every
weekday at 6am, 6pm and 11 pm. Rather than reciting a script from behind an anchor desk
inside a sterile studio, our hosts "bring out" the stories from the
areas of the newsroom where they're gathered and processed, be they
political, environmental, sports, entertainment or weather... Our
anchors and reporters not only talk the talk, they walk the walk.
Citytv revolutionized local news presentation and is continuing its tradition of innovation online with our website CityNews.ca, designed to keep you informed about what's important to your city--from anywhere in the world.
