I watched Canada AM this morning. It seems like there is now a Local Weather/News Ticker on CFRN and also a quick 3 or 4 min Morning Newscast before the bottom and top of the hour. Just wondering, when did they start doing this and are they doing this in other CTV Stations?

The ticker was launched a few weeks ago - while the live morning updates were actually revived... They were cancelled in a big round of cutbacks (which was why half of CFRN's weeknight 11:30 PM newscast used to be pre-taped @ 7:30 PM) back in the late 1990s.
The live morning updates have been around for years and years on other CTV stations - but the ticker has only been around for just a couple (or something like that).

I've seen the local ticker for months and months now - always with Vancouver/BC News and Weather and Traffic and of course, some Int'l headlines. I prefer this ticker compared to the godawful ticker over on BCTV Morning News.

Heh, anyone prefer it over KING-TV5's ticker?
They've managed to cram 4 lines in a tiny text box!
