CBC's offices in Saskatoon are moving to 4th Avenue South. (CBC)It is moving day for staff of CBC in Saskatoon as the broadcaster switches locations in the city in advance of new programming, set to launch in the spring.
The new location, on 4th Ave South, includes space for an integrated radio, television and online newsroom.
CBC is planning a new morning radio program and online service dedicated to telling Saskatoon stories to the community, province and world.
Work on the site began in the fall and the program launch is set for April 29.
Heather Loughran, who was recently appointed executive producer for the location, explained the new space was needed to accommodate the additional staff and equipment involved in the new service.
"CBC recognized that the city of Saskatoon was an under-served market for the network," she said in a note about the move. "This city was then chosen to launch a new digital service that is unlike other services CBC currently offers."
The Saskatoon location will also be using new digital technologies for television news gathering, including HD cameras and memory cards, retiring videotape-based machines.
