Global Quebec takes on CFCF at 6 p.m

Article Abstract:

Global Quebec takes on market leader CFCF's "Pulse News" with the decision to move its local suppertime newscast from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. beginning in the fall of 1998. One of the reason for the move is because Global Quebec has just purchased the station's own microwave truck and live transmission equipment. It was gutsy for Global Quebec to take CFCF on the 6 p.m. slot, but the move makes sense because 5:30 is too early for most people residing in Montreal, Canada, according to Maria Spensieri, vice president, media director at Allard & Associes in Montreal.
