Comparing both of Ottawa's CTV stations

On Monday I was in Ottawa in the morning and was able to watch both of the CTV station's morning shows. CTV2 ( CHRO) had a 1 person local show ( 1 person was off and no one was avaliable to fill in). And CTV1 ( CJOH) had the national show from Toronto with 3 people on air, I think still from Queen and John.
The stories were basically the same, but I did feel the local Ottawa show had more positive energy and the host seemed to want to be there and was smiling and looked happy. Over in Toronto it was a lot more serious and for the time I watched they never smiled or seemed happy.

Does anyone know when or if the national show will get moved to Scarborough.

This is just my observation.

Although my information seems to be more for BNN, it would appear that the plan is to have an empty building by the third quarter of 2025.

I don't see Your Morning moving any time soon.

The purpose of moving CP24 to Scarborough was to get all news operations under one roof.

Moving would be detrimental to the show as it's quite guest heavy.

Sadly I have to deal with repeats of the 11PM news in the morning on CTV London. CTV Kitchener used to air local news segments in the the morning during Your Morning but I don’t think they do that anymore. CHCH has an awesome morning show. I watch it almost every morning. Now for Windsor they air the Morning shows from the radio on the TV in the Rose City they air the feed from AM 800 CKLW on CTV Windsor and Windsor Morning on CBC Windsor.

Well the block is still potentially being redeveloped during the TTC construction..... "under one roof" may have just been the excuse for "why now" https://www.blogto.com/real-estate-toronto/2022/03/leaked-memo-toronto-landmark-redeveloped/

For sure, no secret that it's unlikely that everything stays at 299/350 indefinitely, but that doesn't have to mean trying to cram everything into Angincourt. A new, smaller scale facility downtown for the entertainment properties would be much more practical.
