Any idea which higher up at Bell Beth McDonnell is related to?

I like to switch around during the 6 PM news to see what everyone is doing. And that's where I caught an interesting and huge difference on one of the worst stories in recent days - the death of three young children at the hands of an alleged drunk driver on the weekend. You've likely heard about this awful tale by now. 

What caught my eye (and ears) was what I saw on Global and CTV on their respective Tuesday night's 6 PM. 

On the former, veteran reporter Catherine McDonald told viewers the family members could not be identified due a court-ordered publication ban. 

Meanwhile, at almost the same time over on CTV Toronto, Beth McDonnell was not only ID-ing the late family members, but showing their pictures and publicly naming them on air. They also had an interview with a cousin, which would also identify the family. 

So which one is it? There's either a publication ban or there isn't. Somebody really screwed up here and didn't get the memo. My guess is it was CFTO, because McDonald is a veteran crime reporter and she doesn't usually make that kind of mistake. Should be interesting to see what, if anything, happens after this.

if they want to pretend it's a major market toronto station maybe get both channels on the internet stream working

CP 24 is just one mistake after the other also making cfrb sound horid

shes an opportunist who sees racism whenever it helps her advance

Their Chief Revenue Officer is now gone and I suppose this makes sense. You don't need a Chief Revenue Officer when you no longer have any revenue.
