Star News

Star News is the news division of the Star Television Network in Canada. The name Star Local News is applied as the title of local and regional newscasts on the network's owned-and-operated stations (O&Os), which are closely tied to the national news division.

Star Early Edition News
Star Early Edition News is an early morning news program anchored by David Morales that features national and international news headlines, live reports from Ottawa, national weather and airport impact forecasts, a short sportscast from Rob Gallangham, and a regular business news segment called "Now Business".

Star News Firstline
Star News Firstline is a morning news programme designed to compete with CTV's Your Morning and Global's The Morning Show, first went to air on March 1st 2011 replacing New Day. It is hosted by Rachel Wills. Sports news is presented by Rob Gallangham. Firstline features regular technology segments including Tech Bytes on Thursdays, and financial news from Greg Babble.

Unlike most other morning shows, Firstline is solely a news show and does not include magazine or lifestyle segments, instead choosing to focus on recent current events, with reports from Star News reporters and live or pre-recorded interviews.

Star Evening News
Star Evening News is Star's flagship newscast, which airs at 6:30 pm local time on the CTV stations across Canada. The anchors are Aaron Morris on weekdays, and Janet Ears on weekends. The program is also broadcast in High-Definition.

The newscast ran for 15 minutes until it was expanded to a half-hour in 1964.

Stories from local stations that have national importance are taken from the local O&O, and a 'national reporter' re-does the story, often from a location hundreds or even thousands of miles from the location of the story. The national reporter always mentions their name and location where they are based at the end of the story, even though that location is often different from the location of the story.
