CBC News Now (formerly CBC News: Today) is the daytime rolling news program on CBC News Network. The show broadcasts daily from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET (to 5:30 p.m. on Sundays), with additional evening broadcasts on weekdays (discussed below). It is also simultaneously broadcast on CBC Television from 6 to 7 a.m. and from 12 to 1 p.m. in most time zones, serving as a morning and noon newscast in each region. (As the program does not begin until 6 a.m. ET, CBC stations in Atlantic Canada substitute either rebroadcasts of the previous evening's local newscasts, or simulcasts of local CBC Radio One morning shows, during the 6 a.m. AT / 5 a.m. ET hour.)
Although the "News Now" title is shown on-screen throughout the program, the title is not normally spoken aloud. Instead, anchors normally say "you're watching CBC News Network" at the top of each hour and going into each commercial break.
The show covers national and international news throughout the day, featuring live coverage of breaking news and interviews with newsmakers and experts. The show also has hourly business and weather updates. The daytime broadcasts are produced at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto.

Famous quotes containing the word news:
“The conflict between the men who make and the men who report the news is as old as time. News may be true, but it is not truth, and reporters and officials seldom see it the same way.... In the old days, the reporters or couriers of bad news were often put to the gallows; now they are given the Pulitzer Prize, but the conflict goes on.”
—James Reston (b. 1909)
