Couldn't CTV London and Windsor do this?
If you didn't know CIVI on Vancouver Island simulcasts CFAX in the mornings which is really neat. But the question is why couldn't CFPL in London and CHWI in Windsor do this instead of repeating the 11PM news in the mornings? They could of done something useful to their viewers by simulcasting the morning show from CJBK 1290 in London and CKLW AM800 in Windsor. To provide morning news updates, traffic and weather to viewers just like what CIVI does to viewers across Vancouver Island.
Here is a video of what I mean.

My TV provider carries CHWI and I have seen them simulcast the CKLW morning show. In-studio cameras and everything. Interesting that even though their Big 8 days have long passed, they still give temps in C and F.

CIVI has been doing this ever since A-Channel Morning was cancelled in March 2009.

That’s good that Windsor does that. I think they pretty much have to do something, being in the shadow of Detroit’s TV morning shows.

I watched it for a while this morning. Interesting to see them put together the CKLW 800 morning show on TV. The screen is all split up with weather, in studio shots, traffic, promo for the other radio morning shows etc.
They do the temps in C and F since they are on the border. Likely as a courtesy to any US viewers that may be watching.

I just looked on the TV Passport guide for Windsor and it does show the AM800 Morning Drive in the CTV2 section. I doubt that London will get on board here like Windsor and Vancouver Island. I guess CFPL will repeat the 11PM news just like CKVR in Barrie does.
