CityNews Edmonton online - Television live
CityNews Edmonton Live Stream
CityNews Edmonton is the local news service of Edmonton, Alberta, part of the CityNews network run by Rogers Sports & Media, covering the city's news, weather and traffic around the clock.
Edmonton's local news
The newsroom covers the city and northern Alberta: municipal politics, the energy economy, the festivals and the everyday life of the region. Its schedule runs on local news editions, weather and traffic for the commute, and live coverage of city events.
The capital of Alberta
Edmonton is the provincial capital, and its economy combines government, the university, oil refining and the petrochemical plants at nearby Fort Saskatchewan and Redwater. Unlike Calgary, its fortunes do not follow the price of a barrel as directly, which gives its news a different balance.
The festival city
Edmonton calls itself Canada's festival city, and the summer calendar — the Fringe, Folk Fest, K-Days and Heritage Festival — fills the parks along the North Saskatchewan River for weeks. For a local newsroom, that season is the busiest of the year.
Winter and the river valley
The city's river valley is the largest stretch of urban parkland in North America, and its winters are long and cold. Snow clearance, road sanding and the river's spring thaw are standing subjects on the weather and traffic segments.
Broadcast and stream
The service broadcasts on local cable and streams its feed online, reaching Edmontonians who follow local news on phones rather than through a television subscription.
