The Curious Case of the Disappearing Lunchtime News: Where Did CTV Toronto Noon News Go?
Remember that delicious midday news routine – sandwich in one hand, remote in the other, catching up on the latest Toronto happenings with CTV's noon newscast? Well, folks, buckle up, because that comforting ritual might be a thing of the past.
The Big Slice: Cutbacks and Restructuring
Back in February 2024, CTV decided to play a game of musical newscasts. In a move that left many viewers confused (and maybe a little hangry), they chopped the noon news programs for all cities except Toronto. That's right, folks, it seems like Toronto gets the midday scoop while the rest of us are left with...leftovers?
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.

Conspiracy Theories? Not This Time
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Now, before you grab your tinfoil hats and start speculating about government cover-ups, the reason seems to be a more down-to-earth one – budget cuts and a shift towards a more centralized news model. Apparently, CTV is focusing its resources on the national news and expanding its use of multimedia journalists.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
