It's a new day, and it's the same old story: more layoffs, this time at Rogers Sports and Media. However, nothing is closing or shutting down.

An iconic place. An iconic building. Its no more for CP24 at least at the legendary, iconic institution that is... 299 Queen Street West.

 

You can't say Toronto without that street.

The longest serving presenter in the history of ABC News Breakfast is hanging it up next week after a 15 year run.

 

He's staying at the ABC to work on other projects.

Does Rupert think the money goes with him in the afterlife or something?

Unfortunately, due to his health, Lofty (Andrew Lofthouse) is hanging it up at 9 News Queensland after a 17-year run and spending nearly all that time with Melissa Downes.

One of the few good things Network Ten has in their arsenal... the legendary and fantastic Sandra Sully.

 

She's now passed 35 years at 10 News First.

KBS, the Korean Broadcasting System, since it's relaunch of it's flagship news program "News 9", has went through a few looks while keeping the same design. 

 

I shared back on this form, this debuted in 2022.

 

When anchor Lee So-jeong was fired after some controversy, the show got a new intro, and brought back it's iconic late 90's - 2019 theme, a new score.

 

But now the 2022 intro has been resurrected, slightly updated, and the 2008-2019 version of the classic theme has also been resurrected. Keep in mind, through all these changes, they kept the same set and lower thirds, and the other news programs kept the same look!

Thanks to last summer's decisions made by ARCOM (one third of France's FCC), C8 and NRJ12 have shutdown and are out of service on DTT. The French government channel Le Chaine Parlementaire (the C-SPAN France equivalent), replaced C8 on Channel 8, and the kids channel Gulli replaced NRJ12 on, you guessed it, Channel 12.

The new channel list for FREE OTA TV in France starting in March is posted here: https://www.arcom.fr/presse/nouvelle-numerotation-des-chaines-de-la-tnt-compter-du-6-juin-2025

It includes moving France 4 to Channel 4 and the news channels (BFM TV, CNews, LCI, and Franceinfo) to Channels 13-16.

Because Citytv is making a brand new move, Breakfast Television is also making a brand new everything. A new studio, new music?, a somewhat new look, and new presenters: Tim Bolen and a return to Dina Pugliese after a two year hiatus.

Guess who's also coming back? Kevin Frankish!

 

Except, not on BT. Instead... on 640 CFIQ for Toronto Today.

Jacques Legros is leaving TF1 after 27 years as one of the presenters (mainly a fill-in) of their midday news program, Le 13h (13 Hours; 1:00pm). His final edition is May 9th.

 

Isabelle Ithurburu will replace him as the new fill-in while Marie-Sophie Lacarrau remains the main presenter on the main weekday edition.

Not news but more TV in general. ITVBe is closing and migrating some of their programs to ITV2. In its place... ITV Quiz, a new gameshow network that's eerily family to one they used to operate, ITV Play, which would later close due to a scandal. I hope it doesn't go that route this time.

 

However, I can see programs like The Chase and Tipping Point on the new network.
