The Canwest stations purchased many of their programs collectively, and consequently had similar – although not identical – broadcast schedules. They did not share common branding, however – although stations were sometimes indicated as being part of the "CanWest Global System" as a secondary brand, throughout the 1980s and early 1990s they each retained their own branding and continued to function as an ownership group of independent stations rather than as a fully unified network. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Old_Global_TV_Logo.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Old_Global_TV_Logo.svg/150px-Old_Global_TV_Logo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="150" height="142" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Old_Global_TV_Logo.svg/225px-Old_Global_TV_Logo.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Old_Global_TV_Logo.svg/300px-Old_Global_TV_Logo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="268" data-file-height="254" /></a><figcaption>The second logo (1997–2006) of Global, which debuted with its formal rebranding as a national network.

With the acquisition of CKMI, Canwest now had enough coverage of Canada that it seemed logical to rebrand its station group as a network. Accordingly, on August 18, 1997, Canwest scrubbed all local branding from its stations and rebranded them as the "Global Television Network", the brand previously used solely by the Ontario outlet. On the same day, CKMI disaffiliated from CBC, set up rebroadcasters in Montreal and <a href="/wiki/Sherbrooke" title="Sherbrooke">Sherbrooke</a>, and became the Quebec outlet of the newly minted network. It also built a new studio in Montreal and moved most of its operations there, though the licence nominally remained in Quebec City until 2009. Canwest's purchase of CKMI extended Global's footprint to eight of Canada's 10 largest markets (though Ottawa and Montreal were only served by rebroadcasters). </p><p>Even so, Global was still not a fully national network, as it did not have stations in <a href="/wiki/Calgary" title="Calgary">Calgary</a> and <a href="/wiki/Edmonton" title="Edmonton">Edmonton</a>. The CRTC turned down bids by Canwest for stations in those cities in the 1980s.

Indeed, one main reason why Canwest bought WIC's television assets was because of CHAN's massive translator network, which covered 97% of British Columbia. Global's previous Vancouver station, <a href="/wiki/CKVU-DT" title="CKVU-DT">CKVU-TV</a>, as well as WIC-owned Montreal CTV affiliate <a href="/wiki/CFCF-DT" title="CFCF-DT">CFCF-TV</a>, were sold off.

(Canadian TV system)">E!</a> in 2007 in a partnership with <a href="/wiki/E!" title="E!">the American channel of the same name</a>), although financial pressures forced Canwest to sell or fold the E! stations in 2009. </p><p>Full network service is still not available over-the-air in <a href="/wiki/Newfoundland_and_Labrador" title="Newfoundland and Labrador">Newfoundland and Labrador</a>.

Any remaining programs there may be accessed on cable or satellite through Global stations from other markets (most commonly Edmonton's CITV), or through the network's website. </p><p>Following Canwest's purchase of <a href="/wiki/Southam_Newspapers" class="mw-redirect" title="Southam Newspapers">Southam Newspapers</a> (later Canwest Publishing) and the <i><a href="/wiki/National_Post" title="National Post">National Post</a></i> from <a href="/wiki/Conrad_Black" title="Conrad Black">Conrad Black</a> in 2001, their media interests were merged under a policy of <a href="/wiki/Cross-promotion" title="Cross-promotion">cross-promotion</a> and <a href="/wiki/Synergy" title="Synergy">synergy</a>. Journalists from the <i>Post</i> and other Canwest papers made frequent appearances on Global's news programs, passengers on the now-defunct serial drama <i><a href="/wiki/Train_48" title="Train 48">Train 48</a></i> habitually read the <i>Post</i>, and Global programs were promoted in Canwest newspapers. However, this practice has now been largely abandoned, particularly after Canwest's breakup in 2010. </p><p>In late 2004, with CTV beginning to dominate the ratings, Canwest reorganized its Canadian operations and hired a number of new executives, all formerly of various U.S. media firms, leading to a major overhaul of Global announced in December 2005. The most obvious change was a new logo, replacing the "crescent" with a new "<a href="/wiki/Greater_than" class="mw-redirect" title="Greater than">greater than</a>" logo, with the Global wordmark in a new font, that was introduced on February 5, 2006 (coinciding with Global's broadcast of <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XL" title="Super Bowl XL">Super Bowl XL</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> New logos and graphics were designed for news and network promotions, and several newscasts received new timeslots and formats.

Series initially intended for the U.S. and international market are sometimes called "industrial" productions and largely disappeared with the collapse of the international action hour market. </p><p>From the late-1990s to the mid-2000s, Global aired somewhat more identifiably Canadian entertainment programming, including the long-running finance drama <i><a href="/wiki/Traders_(TV_series)" title="Traders (TV series)">Traders</a></i>, the British-Canadian animated comedy <i><a href="/wiki/Bob_and_Margaret" title="Bob and Margaret">Bob and Margaret</a></i>, the police procedural drama <i><a href="/wiki/Blue_Murder_(Canadian_TV_series)" title="Blue Murder (Canadian TV series)">Blue Murder</a></i>, the nightly <a href="/wiki/Improvisation" title="Improvisation">improvised</a> drama <i><a href="/wiki/Train_48" title="Train 48">Train 48</a></i>, the sitcom <i><a href="/wiki/The_Jane_Show" title="The Jane Show">The Jane Show</a></i> and the reality show <i><a href="/wiki/My_Fabulous_Gay_Wedding" title="My Fabulous Gay Wedding">My Fabulous Gay Wedding</a></i>. In 2003, Global signed comedian <a href="/wiki/Mike_Bullard_(television)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mike Bullard (television)">Mike Bullard</a>, host of the nightly <i><a href="/wiki/Open_Mike_with_Mike_Bullard" title="Open Mike with Mike Bullard">Open Mike with Mike Bullard</a></i> on <a href="/wiki/CTV_Television_Network" title="CTV Television Network">CTV</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Comedy_Network" class="mw-redirect" title="The Comedy Network">The Comedy Network</a>, to a multi-year contract for a new nightly <a href="/wiki/The_Mike_Bullard_Show" title="The Mike Bullard Show">talk show</a> on Global, but that series was cancelled after 60 episodes amid poor ratings. </p><p>Global purchased the rights to produce a Canadian version of the popular entertainment magazine <i><a href="/wiki/Entertainment_Tonight" title="Entertainment Tonight">Entertainment Tonight</a></i>; <i><a href="/wiki/Entertainment_Tonight_Canada" title="Entertainment Tonight Canada">ET Canada</a></i> launched on September 12, 2005. It also secured Canadian production rights to the American <a href="/wiki/Reality_series" class="mw-redirect" title="Reality series">reality series</a> <i><a href="/wiki/The_Apprentice_(American_TV_series)" title="The Apprentice (American TV series)">The Apprentice</a></i>, but a Canadian version of the program never came to fruition. They also produce a Canadian version of the <a href="/wiki/Reality_television" title="Reality television">reality series</a> <i><a href="/wiki/Big_Brother_Canada" title="Big Brother Canada">Big Brother</a></i>. </p><p>Global, like all Canadian broadcast outlets, benefits from Canada's <a href="/wiki/Simultaneous_substitution" title="Simultaneous substitution">simultaneous substitution</a> (or "simsub") regulations, which allow content owners to control programming rights for a particular show in Canada. When an American broadcast network is broadcasting the same show at the same time that Global is (such as the programs mentioned above), Canadian cable subscribers may only watch the Global Television broadcast, even when trying to view the American stations. This law gives them double exposure for their content and a larger share of advertising revenue, effectively blocking American border cities from access to the Canadian market. This was done to help give money to the networks to fund Canadian content development. Global is not the only Canadian broadcaster to use simsubs; nonetheless, some complaints, specific to Global, have arisen due to the following related practices: </p> <ul><li>Some Global stations have superimposed the phrase "<i>on Global</i>" on a program's main titles, often in a font that poorly replicates that of the title itself. This sometimes meant that a single superimposed version was used with each episode, potentially interfering with running gags within the opening credits. For instance, the opening of <i><a href="/wiki/American_Dad!" title="American Dad!">American Dad!</a></i> during the early seasons featured a news headline that changed with each episode, but for a time, the same headline might be shown on multiple episodes on Global, an issue that was later rectified. This practice was discontinued altogether with the start of the fall 2006 season.</li> <li>Split-screen credits are also used to allow for network promos (as of the 2009–10 season, the show's own stylized production credits are displayed rather than a network-generated uniform credit sequence). On some shows, including <i><a href="/wiki/The_Simpsons" title="The Simpsons">The Simpsons</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Family_Guy" title="Family Guy">Family Guy</a></i>, there are special closing credits that may use additional scenes or special music that is altered or lost when Global uses a split screen. While the use of split-screen credits is common among networks in Canada and the U.S., how Global treats one program and how the U.S. network treats the same episode may be different.</li> <li>In some cases, next-episode previews, such as those on <i><a href="/wiki/The_Apprentice_(American_TV_series)" title="The Apprentice (American TV series)">The Apprentice</a></i>, are not shown. This may be because these promos are made in-house by the network (in this case, <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a>), and cannot be edited ahead of broadcast.</li> <li>Since the late 2000s, several American networks have begun to start certain shows shortly before or after :00 or :30 past the hour to avert audience loss. Global does not necessarily follow this practice, meaning the last few minutes of the preceding show may be lost to those watching the U.S. network. For instance, if NBC schedules <i>The Apprentice</i> to start at 9:02, but Global schedules its start for exactly 9:00, the last two minutes of NBC's 8:00 program may be blocked by the Global signal. This is not unique to Global and may vary by service provider, since cable and satellite providers, not the networks, are responsible for scheduling and initiating simsubs.</li> <li>If an American program on a U.S. network is delayed due to breaking news or a sporting event on the American network and is scheduled for broadcast at that time on Global, Global will also delay that episode until it starts on the American network to intentionally simsub. One example is an episode of <i><a href="/wiki/House_(TV_series)" title="House (TV series)">House</a></i> that aired after <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XLII" title="Super Bowl XLII">Super Bowl XLII</a> in 2008 (see below).</li> <li>Global was the Canadian broadcast-television rightsholder for the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">National Football League</a> and, hence, the <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl" title="Super Bowl">Super Bowl</a>, through the end of the 2006 season (these rights were bought by <a href="/wiki/CTV_Television_Network" title="CTV Television Network">CTV</a> starting with the 2007 season). As with any other U.S. network program, Global could and did simsub the American feed. However, the Super Bowl is particularly controversial, as the U.S. network <a href="/wiki/Advertising_in_the_Super_Bowl" class="mw-redirect" title="Advertising in the Super Bowl">Super Bowl commercials</a>, likely the most anticipated set of commercials of any given year, could not be seen on either Global or the applicable U.S. station. Instead, while some international advertisers (such as <a href="/wiki/Budweiser_(Anheuser-Busch)" class="mw-redirect" title="Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch)">Budweiser</a>) did buy time on Global for the U.S. ads, many Canadian companies simply ran ads introduced long before the game. Nonetheless, in recent years,<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers"><span title="The time period mentioned near this tag is ambiguous.

The network was a long-time broadcaster of <a href="/wiki/PGA_Tour" title="PGA Tour">PGA Tour</a> events. </p><p>Beyond event coverage, many Global stations were well known for local late-night sports highlights shows, such as <i>Sportsline</i> in Ontario, <i><a href="/wiki/Sports_Page" title="Sports Page">Sports Page</a></i> in Vancouver (later moved to former sister station <a href="/wiki/CHEK-DT" title="CHEK-DT">CHEK-TV</a>), <i>2&7 Sports at 11</i> in Calgary and <i>Sports Night</i> in Edmonton. Most of these programs were later unified under the <i>Global Sports</i> brand. However, due to declining audiences, by fall 2005 all but the Ontario program had been cancelled, although stations continued to cover sports in their local newscasts. Global Ontario's sports program was finally cancelled in January 2007; at that point, the station closed its sports department entirely, and for a time outsourced sports coverage to <a href="/wiki/Sportsnet" title="Sportsnet">Sportsnet</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sportsnet_360" title="Sportsnet 360">The Score / Sportsnet 360</a>. </p><p>Some Global O&Os outside of Ontario (such as CHAN Vancouver and CITV Edmonton) continue to feature locally produced sports segments on their local newscasts.
