It happened again this morning during CTV Morning Live early this morning.

I saw something very odd on CTV's noon news in Toronto Thursday. They were about to do the Leafs recap, and went to viz of the crowds in Maple Leaf Square for about 10 seconds. Then, suddenly, they cut to a promo for Grey's Anatomy and Station 19, which ran most of its full 30 secs. 

They then cut back to anchor Nathan Downer, who was in the midst of throwing to reporter Andrew Brennan at the arena. He said two or three words, then the screen went to what looked like the tail end of another spot saying something about Mother's Day. That was there for at least four seconds and then it was back to Brennan, still in mid-script, throwing to his piece about the game and reaction. 
You rarely see stuff like that on CFTO, and I'm guessing it was either a weird glitch or an error in Master Control. The news crew didn't seem aware of either interruption. After that, everything returned to normal.  

Something similar happened last night during CTV London's news at 6. There were no issues when they did a Live on Location segment where Nick Paperella was at one of the new Dream Lottery homes on the outskirts of London. But when they did another Live on Location segment where Julie Atchison was live on location at one of the McDonald's locations in London during McHappy Day. After showing her weather forecast her live feed began to glitch and freeze then her feed unfroze but lost her audio feed and had to send it back to the newsroom. Reta said: "Looks like we are losing Julie." then showed what stories are coming up next. After that unexpected mess up the rest of the newscast went on without any more errors. Does CTV use that famous "Dejero" brand for their live camera feed?
