CTV News

CTV News is the news division of the CTV Television Network in Canada. The name CTV News is also applied as the title of local and regional newscasts on the network's owned-and-operated stations (O&Os), which are closely tied to the national news division. Local newscasts on CTV 2 are also branded as CTV News, although in most cases they are managed separately from the newscasts on the main CTV network.

In 1961, CTV News was launched by the Canadian government.

On 1 September 2011, chief news anchor and senior news editor Lloyd Robertson retired after 35 years at the helm of the flagship. On 19 September 2023, Bell Media celebrated long-time news anchor Sandie Rinaldo's 50th year with the franchise.

On 26 September 2024, CTV News admitted that it had altered or manipulated a clip of Pierre Poilievre broadcast the previous Sunday. It fired two news editors and apologized "unreservedly". On 2 October, he ended his boycott of the broadcaster.

CTV's national news division produces the following programs, which air on the main CTV network:

Additionally, CTV News operates the national 24-hour news channel CTV News Channel and the 24-hour national business news channel BNN Bloomberg, both of which are available across Canada on cable and satellite.

The news division produced the weekday morning news and entertainment program Canada AM from 1972 to October 2015, when responsibility for the program was transferred to Bell Media In-House Productions, the division responsible for CTV's other daytime lifestyle programming, until the program's cancellation in June 2016. Canada AM's replacement Your Morning is produced by Bell Media Studios, with news content provided by CTV News.

On February 8, 2024, Bell announced the cancellation of CTV's long-running newsmagazine W5 as part of budgetary and staff cuts. The brand will still be used for investigative journalism across CTV News properties.
