CBC TV has absolutely nothing for Northern Ontario when it comes to news and regional programming. CTV still has TV news from Sudbury which covers Northeastern Ontario and Muskoka and has reporters in each city but it's almost all about incidents involving police and firefighters. (highway accidents, robberies, murders, violent incidents, homelessness, fires, etc.) Quite depressing. We used to have local news and programming on our local CTV channel but that was cut in the 2000s and now it's regional. Northwestern Ontario has nothing for TV news or programming as far as I know.
Now CBC Radio has regional programming and news only for Northern Ontario. There is no private sector equivalent for that.
A big complaint around here is that CBC News is way too Toronto-centric which I'm sure is similar in many other parts of Canada.
