TORONTO – Corus’ local news affiliates Peterborough’s CHEX and Kingston’s CKWS have been rebranded to Global Peterborough and Global Kingston respectively, formally bringing them under the Global News umbrella.
Corus said that the long-standing brands of CHEX and CKWS will not completely disappear, as Global Peterborough newscasts will be named CHEX News on Global Peterborough, with Global Kingston newscasts operating under the name CKWS News on Global Kingston.
Both stations will continue to show daily newscasts at noon, 6 PM and 11 PM along with their existing morning shows. The staff and content will be unaffected by the rebrands, the company added.
In related news, Global Toronto reporter Mark Carcasole (pictured below, click image to enlarge) is the new Global News weekend anchor for the 6 PM and 11 PM newscasts across multiple markets, including Toronto, beginning September 15.
