Is anyone surprised that Global National did not have live coverage of the pope's death today? CBC and CTV went live for a few hours.
Also, I'm surprised to see Kevin came back from his vacation to host Global National from Montreal live yesterday, and Global sent quite a few reporters to Rome, including Alison Vuchnich and Troy Reeb, today.

Not quite true - there was some live coverage on Global National today, just not a lot (I think), especially in comparison to CTV and CBC.

There was a half-hour special that broke into programming early Saturday morning (7:30 AM Pacific/8:30 AM Mountain).

CTV NewsNet and CBC Newsworld had live coverage in the wee hours of the morning (1 am-?) Global is never my first choice for breaking news, they always end up simulcasting with CNN...cheap.  |

Tonight, Global National's Francis Silvaggio and anchor Kevin Newman were in Rome. Kevin also mentioned that he will be anchoring with Troy Reeb in Rome all through this week.
