CTV News at Noon was largely cancelled across most local CTV stations as part of Bell Media cuts announced in February 2024; Toronto was the main exception. The noon newscasts, along with many weekend local newscasts, were ended to reduce costs and restructure newsroom operations.

What changed

Bell Media said the move affected almost all local noon and weekend CTV newscasts, with the company citing ongoing financial pressure in the news business.

The change also came alongside other newsroom reductions and programming shifts at CTV News.

In plain terms

If you were looking for the noon broadcast on your local CTV station and it disappeared, that is likely why.

Some stations continued with different local programming or online coverage, but the traditional noon TV newscast was mostly removed.

Why it mattered

The cut was part of a wider trend in Canadian local TV news, where stations have been trimming less-profitable time slots and moving more content online or into consolidated broadcasts.
