Graham McMynn found alive and well

[vanaznboi]

Graham McMynn, the son of a prominent Vancouver millionnaire, was found today in a home in Surrey, eight days after his abduction a few blocks away from home in Vancouver. Did any of you guys know which TV station broke the story first? I first learned about it on Global's Noon News Hour, but apparently they had a Breaking News report earlier in the morning already. At 2:00 pm, both Global and CTV had live coverage of the VPD press conference. Global ended the live broadcast at about 2:20 pm (presumably to prepare for Global National at 2:30 pm), and CTV's coverage ended a few minutes later. Of course, the story was covered in some detail at the 5 pm and 6 pm news casts. Global's Tony Parsons also announced at the end of the News Hour that they'll have a special program tonight at 10:30 pm, and hopefully they'll have an interview with Graham McMynn and/or his family. Stay tuned!

How did other stations covered the story? I was paying attention mainly at Global, and only flipped to CTV for a few minutes at 2pm because Global was having audio difficulties with the live broadcast from the VPD HQ.

No 1030 show...does CTV already have an interview with him by Keri Adams?

1030am tomorrow morning press conference...not PM lol.

My apologies. Maybe I heard it wrong, or maybe Global was overly optimistic that they'll get to interview the McMynn's before CTV does! But ya, there's a news conference with the family at 10:30 am tomorrow, and Global will carry it live. I'm watching CTV News at 11:30 right now, and they don't have an interview with the McMynn's yet.

Global BC had about 4 BREAKING NEWS updates, with the first one happening shortly after 10:00am. They were all live, and the longest one was about 1 minute long.

I'd be very, very surprised if CBC British Columbia had anything live. Newsworld could've, but CBC's main network is too cheap to run live coverage like a real TV station.

What about CKVU?

CKVU has had live coverage -- in fact, when I got home this morning at around 10:55, Global was the only station off air -- of course, CBC main wasn't on and neither was A-Channel. But CKVU has been keeping up.
