Global BC and CKNW AM 980 to Join Forces

Global BC and CKNW AM 980 are pleased to announce that Global News Hour at 6, BC’s longest-running and best-known news program will be simulcast on the radio station beginning Monday, November 7. The addition of the hour-long wrap-up of the day’s stories will appeal to radio listeners who have developed an appetite for an extended evening newscast.

Corus Entertainment, the parent company of these two powerhouse brands, is committed to engaging audiences and providing access to compelling content, on any platform, at any time. Global BC and CKNW are well-recognized in the Vancouver area and this collaboration is a natural next step in the evolution of Corus’ combined assets.

“Simulcasting Global News Hour at 6 on CKNW will help us grow audiences on both our TV and radio platforms,” said Kenton Boston, VP, Global News & Corus Radio, Western Canada. “Whether you’re at work, on the road, at home or on-the-go, accessing the best news coverage and storytelling has never been easier.”
