BCTV should NOT get a newschopper. That's too American. I don't think it matters to them whether it's "too american" or not. Countries around the world have TV stations with helicopters, so the concept of a newschopper shouldn't be overgeneralized as "too american". Heck, TVA has the first TV news chopper in Montreal! I'm sorry, but that phrase just bugs me... "too american". A chopper should be seen as an extra newsgathering tool to be available whenever news breaks. I don't feel a necessity like that is "too american".

Re: BCTV and CIVT
I thought all CTV stations are going GENERIC - being called 'CTV' (as previously mentioned)
If that's not true, I want CFRN back! (well at least most of the staff's clothing still have the old logo on them.)

If CHAN/BCTV/Global BC (whatever they want to call themselves) want to get a news chopper to improve their coverage, then fair enough. As an Australian, I can say that 2 out of 3 of our networks (Seven, Nine and Ten), plus one of the regional stations, NBN in Northern NSW, have a news chopper.

Re: TV News Helicopters
Go ahead and get one, if the station has excess money to spend. Just don't keep mentioning it every 10 minutes (more or less).

With Global changing its theme colour from red to teal in its graphics, is it likely that BCTV's studio (which is also the national news centre) will get a facelift to show more teal?

That's the beauty of coloured lighting, you can change the background without doing much. Just look at A-Channel, they went from a predominantly blue background to a whole lot of orange. Oh wait a minute, no one else noticed because no one is watching.

ouch, your mean. I would figure them change the color as tvanonymous pointed out but i dont think there are going to change much else expt the big global logo up above the desk. Be nice if they build a new set, i dont mind the set they have now but a nice change(if its good) would be nice.

Well Vancouver would definetly get one since Global National is here, and they can't have the set look weird with the new graphics on a national program that they want to be first in the ratings. Their current set seemed pretty matching to the reddish graphics, but seems to be ok with Global National's different ones. Mind you, all it takes is for them to loose the red on all of their TV's and im sure it looks fine.

maybe they will have a diffrent studio for Global National, use the old sportspage studio but mind you its not that big but it could fine.

Their current set is very well done - I wouldn't be surprised if they kept it and just fiddled with the colours and logos. What else do you think got them the award? It wasn't just Kevin's excellent anchoring or the all-star reporting.

But lets not forget that the background behind the sports anchor is filled with Global arcs...obviously, they have to be removed.

They will be getting a new set, well at least Global National, so i guess the newshours will use it unless build the GN set in the old sportspage studio. But i figure that Both GN and Global BC get new sets possibly the same or possibly diffrent. Yes i know we talk about it but i would just like to comfirm it for every one.
