muckrack.comI don’t have live access to current news feeds in this moment. Here’s what I can share based on recent public reporting and CityNews Ottawa’s own channels up to the last available updates:
CityNews Ottawa (a Rogers Sports & Media property) has faced significant disruption in recent years, including the shutdown of its Ottawa AM radio operations. This was publicly confirmed with layoffs and the closure of CityNews Ottawa (1310 AM) in late 2023, with the news bureau continuing in a reduced digital form. This event marked a major reduction in local radio news coverage in Ottawa.[1][3]
After the shutdown of the AM radio station, Rogers indicated that news and information would still air across its Ottawa music stations, and that a CityNews Ottawa online presence would persist through CityNewsOttawa.ca and social channels, with a small number of reporters retained for Parliament Hill coverage. This signals a pivot from a full radio newsroom to digital-first local coverage.[3][1]
CityNews Ottawa maintains a branded website and social media presence to deliver local breaking news, traffic, and weather updates, as part of the broader CityNews network in Canada. If you’re looking for the latest updates, their website and official social accounts are the most reliable sources for real-time local coverage.[4][5][3]
For the most current, up-to-the-minute Ottawa city news, you can check the CityNews Ottawa site directly and their app listings, which emphasize breaking news notifications and digital reporting. This is consistent with how CityNews Ottawa positions itself post-AM shutdown.[6][4]
Would you like me to pull the very latest headlines from CityNews Ottawa’s site and summarize them, or set up a quick guide on how to monitor their channels for breaking local news in Ottawa? I can also compare their current online presence with other local outlets (e.g., Ottawa Citizen, CFRA) if that would help.
