CHBC-DT presently broadcasts 15½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 2½ hours on weekdays, and 1½ hours each on Saturdays and Sundays).
Due to corporate cutbacks instituted by Canwest in September 2009, CHBC stopped utilizing live newsgathering services in Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton; in addition, the station's 5:00 p.m. newscast and a weekly half-hour programme titled Okanagan Now, which was dedicated to events happening around the Okanagan region [REF].
