CBC's new digital Hamilton service, which provides local news, weather, traffic and information about things to do around the Ontario city, was officially launched today.

Quote:

CBC Hamilton is one of five new local services being rolled out as part of CBC's 2015 strategy: Every One, Every Way.

I'm not sure if CBC Hamilton is broadcasting digital OTA as well.
I thought OTAers at digitalhome.ca would be interested to know... and I couldn't find a better forum to post this news in.

It's a website.

No broadcasting of either television or radio, according to the Spectator. On-line only. Can't see them wanting to go head to head with CHCH's daytime news programming anyways. Nor could I see them wanting to launch a second OTA news channel in Hamilton when Toronto doesn't even have one.

Basically they are just feeding web news now, although with a Hamilton hub now, you may see increased Hamilton news coverage on CBC Toronto (both TV and Radio)

It's a start. News appears limited to City of Hamilton; not extending to traditional Hamilton media areas of Burlington, Grimsby, Caledonia.
