TELUS added Global News BC 1 (or whatever it's called exactly) and, since then, it's gone progressively downhill. Most of the time, it just simulcasts and re-airs Global News broadcasts from Vancouver and even the Okanagan, as well as Global National. It's unclear if the "BC1 News" half-hour shows are taped or live. They should just shut it down - and TELUS should restore Bloomberg's U.S. feed to its channel line-up, so I don't have to use my Internet data to watch it via Apple TV.
I wonder how long till Bloomberg U.S. realizes that BNN is being a scum-sucking leach off of the incredible journalism resources in which Bloomberg invests. BNN's Paige Ellis appears to have quietly left the network, on her own terms or not it's unclear, and while I am actually liking Lily Jamali on "Market Call Tonight" over previous host Greg Bonnell, BNN is a shell of its former host. They have basically all anchors and only two full-time reporters now, plus two that are either part-time anchors/part-time reporters or shared with CTV News.
Anchors: Amanda Lang, Andy Bell, Catherine Murray, Paul Bagnell, Jon Erlichmann (who needs to stop his fake smiling and trying to hide his dimples by making his face so stiff and serious!
), and Greg Bonnell
Full-Time Reporters: Jameson Berkow, Tara Weber (in Calgary)
Part-Time Reporters: Anita Sharma (who is actually
quite good but, sadly, shared with CTV National News/CTV News Toronto) and Lily Jamali
