Recently, Angus Reid Strategies released a poll where respondents from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom were asked to design their own one-hour nightly television newscast.
Respondents from each country agreed to devote at least 20 per cent of each newscast to local news, with Canadians placing the most importance on this section (26.3 per cent). What’s more, Canadians would dedicate 20.4 per cent of their broadcast to international news, 10.1 per cent to sports, and 7.9 per cent to arts and entertainment.
