Global News, a privately owned company based in Canada, is part of Corus Entertainment and Global TV. Founded in 1994, the company employs approximately 870 individuals and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. It specializes in media and TV services, operating as the news and current affairs division of the Canadian Global Television Network.
On July 17, 2026, Corus Entertainment, the Toronto-based parent company of Global News, rebutted claims circulating online that Global News was shutting down local television production in Calgary and Edmonton. The company confirmed that despite recent layoffs and a restructuring centralizing some technical production functions in Toronto, local newscasts in Calgary and Edmonton would continue to be produced with local anchors, producers, and newsgathering teams. This followed renewed concerns on July 16, 2026, among observers about the future of local journalism in Alberta, sparked by the latest round of layoffs within Calgary’s news media. These job cuts at Corus and Global News were driven by a decline in advertising revenue.
