CBC launching 14 new free streamers for local news across Canada
The first two rollouts begin Thursday, with a local streaming feed of CBC News B.C. and CBC Toronto. Those have already been added to the app and CBC Gem.
More free streaming channels, (including Windsor) and others across the country, will come in the next few weeks and months.
CBC Pres. Catharine Tait has frequently said she believes the future of the Corp. is online and this would seem to be in line with that philosophy. Of course, there are already several similar services from competitors. CityNews 24/7 is CityTV's offering, while Global has had an ongoing live news feed through its site for a while.

But will CTV hop on board as well?

Rogers Ignite TV's Canada Time Shift Package ($3/month - I had to get it to get the $3/month US Time Shift Package) offers the same or similar CBC News across Canada.

You can also get those same CBC stations for free on the CBC Gem app.
Will be interesting to see how a station like CBC Windsor can fill up all those hours.

The changes also make it easier to hear various CBC Radio 1 channels on your phone.
"At the same time, we've made 19 live local CBC Radio One audio streams available under the "local" tab in our News App so users can effectively turn their mobile device into a radio. The persistent audio player allows you to tap into our best-in-class radio programs live from across the country while browsing articles in the app, using other apps or, if you choose, while your phone is off."
