Action Newsroom 1281 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 All the luck in the world to everyone at Global. Here's hoping it's a big success. Maybe it'll stream worldwide and not geo-blocked like CBSN and Sky News.

ED2 144 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Looks like they've soft-launched the OTT channels... If you go to GlobalTV.com and click on "Live TV", there is a Global News logo on the page. You click on that, and you get to choose between the following feeds: BC News Calgary News Edmonton News Toronto News National News Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17554-global-news-to-launch-canada%E2%80%99s-first-247-streaming-news-channel/#findComment-240995 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is. Can you still stream Global's local news on their websites if it's not part of this 24/7 network?

Journalist 894 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 You got to feel for Global. This is now their third attempt at launching a national news network. After failing to ride the wave of BC1 despite convincing the City of Mississauga, they reorganized and tried to go OTT with the launch of their national "News Feed", with the hope that they can leverage their award-winning centralization efforts. That didn't fare out either. Maybe third time's the charm?
