Just a few minutes ago, we got the official launch of A News (formally known as A-Channel News). Ever since the announcement, they had been using the A News name, but today we got the new graphics.

 

Its all red, black, and blue now, primetime news is prodominently more black, and morning is white (red white and blue? odd...since this is supposed to be a Canadian station, lol)

 

Graphics, look VERY Giant Octopus-ish, very nice. Still think the CHCH/E! standardized graphics are cooler at times, but ANYTHING to envy WDIV is a good thing ever since they messed up one of the best packages I had ever seen :U

 

Same music still unfortunately

The first 18 minutes of the first "A-News" bulletin on CFPL London, Ontario:

 

 

I like the new graphics too, though I also wish they got a new news theme.

Did "A-Channel" originate in Alberta? Is that where that came from?

 

Yes. The current "A" is the former NewNet stations owned by CHUM, and the old A-Channel is currently part of Citytv.

Okay, the bugs have gone through several "variations" during newscasts...

 

First day, it was a solid black with some shading on it, then it became solid white, but now just a few days ago, its transparent like the standard A bug.
