Speculation is that they will be buying out NTV since it already airs most of the Global lineup and our market doesn't really seem large enough for another TV station. Looks like we'll find out next week for sure what they're up to. |
Hmm.. interesting. NTV also airs programming from CTV (i.e. Bell Media) as well; it's kind of like a de-facto hybrid subsidiary of both Global and CTV - I think I may have made up my own broadcasting terminology. Anywho... if such a speculation were to hold true we could see a substantial restructuring and re-programming. NTV Evening News becomes "Global News St. John's" as one example.
