Editorial signature
CTV National News under Lisa LaFlamme — and the controversy over her 2022 dismissal — and the Sunday public-affairs program Question Period define the network's editorial face, with W5 carrying the long-form investigative tradition. Bell Media ownership ties the newsroom to a vertically integrated telecoms parent whose CRTC and spectrum interests are themselves recurring news, a tension the newsroom navigates through standard disclosure practice.
