ottawa.citynews.caI don’t have live tool access right now to pull the latest updates, but here’s what’s generally known about CityNews Ottawa:
- CityNews Ottawa is Rogers Communications’ local news brand for Ottawa, historically tied to CityNews Ottawa radio and online coverage of local news, traffic, and weather. In late 2023 there were reports that CityNews Ottawa radio operations were closed, with the news bureau continuing digitally and on other local stations. This indicates a consolidation of local news efforts rather than a full shutdown of CityNews Ottawa’s digital presence at that time.[1][3]
- Since then, CityNews Ottawa has maintained an online presence and social channels, with news content and updates across their website and associated platforms. Their app and social accounts have continued to post breaking news and local updates, aligning with CityNews’ national brand strategy.[3][4][5][6]
- For the most current status (whether any new changes occurred in 2024–2026), I’d recommend checking: CityNews Ottawa official site (ottawa.citynews.ca), their X/Twitter account, and recent local Ottawa media coverage (e.g., OBJ or Ottawa Citizen) for any announcements about changes to operations, licenses, or newsroom staffing.[1][3]
If you’d like, I can monitor specific sources you trust (CityNews Ottawa site, local outlets) and summarize any new developments as you prefer.
