== Programming ==
BC1 features live programming on weekdays from 5:00 a.m. or weekends from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. The service draws content from Global News in Vancouver and Okanagan (although no newscasts produce from the latter newsroom are aired on BC1). It simulcasts ''[[Global News Morning (Canadian TV series)|Global News Morning]]'', ''Global News at Noon'', ''Global News at 5'', ''Global News Hour at 6'', ''Global News at 11'' and ''[[Global National]]''.
''Global News at Noon'' and ''Global News Hour at 6'' are notable to be replayed immediately after the live simulcast. Outside these simulcasts, BC1 primarily uses half-hour "news wheels" updated throughout the day, but pre-recorded programming can be interrupted for coverage of live events and breaking news when needed.

BC1 airs blocks of live news daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., 2:00 to 2:30 p.m., 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 to 11:00 p.m. ET, which is then incorporated into their "news wheel".

On 2018, the channel began airing its own newscast every weeknight from 10:00 instead of the now defunct Global News at 10. Weekend live coverage is branded as ''BC 1 News Weekend''. During the overnight hours, BC 1 replays ''Global News Hour at 6'', ''Global National'' and two of its own newscasts.

History

[edit]

On January 11, 2012, Shaw Media announced its intention to launch a 24-hour local news channel for the province of British Columbia (the first regional news channel in Canada located outside of Ontario), that would be operated alongside Global's Vancouver station CHAN-DT,[2] with an expected launch date of summer 2012.

The channel was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on July 20, 2012 under the tentative name "BC Global News". It was described as "a regional, English-language specialty Category B service that will offer a mix of local and regional news, traffic, weather, business, sports and entertainment information devoted to serving residents of British Columbia, with a special focus on the Vancouver/Victoria Extended Market, as defined by the Broadcast Bureau of Measurement (BBM) Canada."[3] On the same day, Shaw Media announced its revised plan to launch the channel in early 2013 under the new name "Global News: BC 1".[4]

On August 30, 2012, Global BC posted a statement about Global News: BC 1, which had expected to be launched in January 2013, claiming it "will provide viewers across the province with top local and regional stories" and will become an "important component of Global News' Digital First objective."[5] The launch would later be delayed to March 14, 2013.[6] The channel soft launched on March 14 at 8:00 a.m. PDT (14:00 UTC) and officially launched one hour later at 9:00 a.m. PT with the debut of the show AM/BC.

On April 1, 2016, Global News: BC 1's parent company Shaw Media (which also included parent network Global and 18 other specialty channels) was sold to Shaw's sister company Corus Entertainment, and the station earned four already owned radio stations for sister networks.

In October 2022, the channel was given a new logo and on-air graphics to coincide with Corus Entertainment's rebrand of all existing Global News properties.[7]

The Global Okanagan late news airs at 9:25 PM PT on weekdays and 9:30 PM PT on weekends, under the name "Global News on BC1", with an anchor presenting the newscast from the Global Okanagan studios in Kelowna.[10] This newscast is also broadcast later in the evening at 11:00 PM PT on Global Okanagan.
