CTV Unveils Its Fall Line-up
It consists of the usual suspects - a lot of American imports, the NFL, and some CanCon. Not to mention Saturday Night Live, which should prove interesting to see where the local news goes at 11:30 PM that night.
You can see what's in store on the network here.

Strong line up.
Wonder how Corus lost Saturday Night Live. It was a staple for them for years.

Re: CTV Unveils Its Fall Line-up
Could it be that CTV will just give those stations in the Eastern time zone the night off for news and not have a late cast? What happens to the simulcast on CP24? Interestingly, CFRB simulcasts the entire 11PM-12AM hour every night, with the exception, for some reason, of Saturdays.

My guess would be Bell's massive streaming and marketing advantage.

I find it interesting that Global's fall preview chart of its new and returning shows doesn't even bother listing any shows on Saturday night at all, which has sadly become a dead zone for nearly all broadcast TV.

There's some stuff about this in an April 2026 Hollywood Reporter article:

You seem to forget that CTV cancelled all local weekend newscasts in most of the country a few years ago, so Saturday night at 11:30 won't be a problem. One less rerun of Corner Gas.
