News Operation
Currently, CKVU produces a total of 17½ hours of local newscasts each week, all consisting of Citytv's 3½ hour-long local morning news franchise Breakfast Television.
The station's news operations underwent significant changes in July 2006 following the announcement of Bell Globemedia's acquisition of CHUM Limited; CKVU's CityNews 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts were cancelled, while its Breakfast Television morning show was expanded from three hours to four hours.
On January 19, 2010, Rogers Communications announced that it was laying off six employees at CKVU. The layoffs also resulted in the cancellation of local productions Lunch Television and The CityNews List, while Breakfast Television was cut from four hours to three.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or operation:
“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
