News Operation
The station currently produces an hour-and-a-half of local newscasts every weekday, and two hours of local news on weekends (consisting of half-hour newscasts at 6 and 10 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday nights).
On May 31, 2011, Shaw Media announced that a new local weekday morning newscast would begin broadcasting on Global Regina in late-August 2011. The morning newscast will run from 6 to 9 a.m. Central Time. On August 11, 2011, it was announced that Heather Anderson would become Host of the new weekday morning newscast debuting in the fall.
In late 2011, Global Regina became the first television station in the city to broadcast its news in high definition.
On August 20, 2012, Global Regina will expand its half-hour 10 p.m. newscast to one hour, which will be retitled from Prime News to News Hour Final; the addition is part of an expansion of local news programming on Global owned-and-operated stations across Canada.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or operation:
“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
“It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
