History

edit

Live at 5:30 was created as a result of budget cuts at Rogers Media's Citytv stations across Canada which included the cancellation of their 5 p.m. newscast for Toronto, the program first aired on January 19, 2010.

The CP24 studio is located on the second floor of 299 Queen Street West. Large north-facing windows look out towards Queen Street. The set and newsroom is home to Live at 5:30 and most of the other CP24-produced programming.
