A few changes are afoot under the CHUM banner. Citytv Toronto’s news franchise CityPulse News is being rebranded as CityNews, effective Tuesday, Aug. 2. The channel is promising a ‘refreshed’ look and style for City News at Noon, CityNews at 6 and CityNews Tonight with new graphics, newsroom design and a refined show format. The shows will continue their mandate to be local and urban-oriented, although viewers will continue to receive national and international headlines, with feeds from CHUM stations across the country.
In other CHUM news, Aug. 2 is also the day that, as previously publicized, The New VR rebrands as A-Channel while stations A-Channel Edmonton, A-Channel Calgary and A-Channel Manitoba will be rebranded as Citytv stations.
