Are the Toronto media planing of covering this. I ask the question because based on the evening programs on Talk radio ( including CBC radio) I don't think they have many people working at 9pm. So who would they bring in to do the show. Even on the national level for TV they are planing the last program of the day that will go into repete mode till 6am.
Looks like some overtime for some of the staff.
This used to be known as "The State Of The Union" address, but for some reason, it technically isn't called that this year.
Normally, American networks interrupt all their programming to show it and that's happening on Tuesday at 9 PM. But the Canadian stations don't bother - although with the tariffs coming, who knows if they would choose to cover it. But I doubt it. (You might remember the last one Trump did, when then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, sitting prominently behind him, famously ripped up her copy of the speech when he finished reading it.)
The one thing you can say about Tuesday is that any simsub for the night ends at 9PM. Global is showing reruns of its FBI series, CTV has new episodes of Tracker and Suits L.A., which I believe have already run in the U.S. this weekend, and City TV has two back-to-back episodes of Hudson & Rex, both of which appear to be reruns.
So there's no real reason outside of CTV News Channel and CBC News Network to interrupt regular programming or bring in extra news people for it. I'm pretty sure no radio station on this side of the border will take it either.
