WATCH: ET Canada hosts have ‘Monday Funday’ with Global Winnipeg news anchors
WINNIPEG – The glory of green screen allowed a rather unusual combined Global Winnipeg/ET Canada newscast on Monday.
The folks at ET Canada took a video of three news anchors in Winnipeg rehearsing for their Wednesday night municipal election broadcast and inserted it into their own set on Monday, creating a five-person desk.
Guest Richard Cloutier of 680 CJOB News, Winnipeg Evening News anchor Peter Chura and Focus Manitoba anchor and senior Winnipeg reporter Lauren McNabb were joined on the election desk by ET Canada hosts Rick Campanelli and Roz Weston.
“What would be great is if this was live and they didn’t know how to fix it,” Roz Weston says as the pair are inserted onto the Winnipeg news desk.
Cloutier, Chura and McNabb were preparing for their coverage of Manitoba municipal elections on Wednesday.
A live streamed broadcast will start when polls close at 8 p.m. CT and continue as a television broadcast starts at 9 p.m. The joint CJOB-Global production will continue online, on radio and on air until 11 p.m.
