Re: [IRCA] Canada station question

[Theo <theod@xxxxxxxxx>]

True.  Mother Corp does NOT run any non-originating "newscasts".  They 
used to carry BBC World Service news (radio) decades ago once a day.  
CBC Overnight stuff is simply shared feature programming, what used to 
be called transcriptions in days before satellite feeds.

Anything mentioning The Canadian Press would be from a non-CBC 
broadcaster... the service is what used to be known as Broadcast News 
which was the radio-TV wire-service division of The CP, originally a 
cooperative of member newspapers, and radio & TV stations.   CBC likely 
would have access to the wire, but I've never heard them even carry 
voicers from BN/CP.  It's always surprised me that a station of the 
stature of CFRB even makes use of the network 'casts.

Just because the two lead stories are from Calgary doesn't give a clue 
to the station's location; that would be like hearing ABC/CBS/NBC/AP/CNN 
with the two tops from, say, Southern California points to a station 
around LA.
