As if Toronto didn't have enough, they now will run CBC Newsworld 24 hours a day. Canada's Government run news network with a mandate that speaks to reaching out to all parts of Canada is now run out of one city.

CBC News is shutting down the Calgary unit of its 24-hour Newsworld television service as of the end of May.

"Doing the couple of hours of Newsworld out in Alberta didn't make any sense any longer. We could do it more efficiently or effectively in Toronto, where we do the other hours," CBC News publisher John Cruickshank said Thursday afternoon.

I know it 'makes sense for business', but CBC is pathetic. The hate on for Calgary is tiring.
