Weeters 1805 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 CJOH-TV, the station on which Peter Jennings started his TV career, had it's newsroom destroyed overnight in a fire. The station housed an extensive archive as it was the initial home to the CTV National News. The station has been temporarily relocated to the newsroom of CHRO-TV, the local A Television affiliate (and also a sister station). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1805 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Update: A photo gallery of the interior has been posted online, along with a video walkthrough with one of the station's reporters, and raw video from that walkthrough. Both videos available here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsRI 4 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The banner at the top of the page reads: "CTV EXCLUSIVE: AFTER THE FIRE" The newsroom burns to the ground, yet they still plug it as another exclusive story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazynetjunkie 34 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Note what else survives at fire at J.J. Clarke's desk in this photo: http://ottawa.ctv.ca/gallery/html/ott_exclusive_fire_1_20100312/photo_15.html Geeze.. They must be more allowing of that in Canadian newsrooms? I've known people at stations in Chicago that kept that at their desks but they at least kept it locked in their file cabinets.. And from the way those are sitting up there, I don't think those were just for desk decoration.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I guess CTV's Forecast is not powered by Vipir by Jim, Jack and Bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so temporary anymore, CTV is done with that studio location. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/business/return+Merivale+Road+studio/2662362/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
