Will Rogers's magazine content cross over onto Rogers's 24-hr Toronto news channel?

The approval by the CRTC of Rogers Broadcasting Ltd.'s application for a license to operate a 24-hour news and information channel to serve Greater Toronto raises the question about whether we'll see any transfer of Rogers consumer and trade content onto the small screen. According to a report on J-source,
"programming would consist of a mix of local news, traffic, weather, business, sports and entertainment information devoted exclusively to residents in the Greater Toronto and commuting areas."

The new channel is called CITY News Toronto and will compete with other 24-hour channels such as CP24, CTV Newsnet and CBC's Newsworld, which the public broadcaster recently announced will be overhauled.

You guys are a hoot, but aren't you dating yourselves with reference to a comedian who died 73 years ago!
