As a part of Global News’ commitment to local news, a new bureau has officially launched in Durham region.
“We’re at what we believe is a new beginning not just for Durham region and Global News, but for the idea of what local television can be,” Troy Reeb, Senior Vice President of News, Radio and Station Operations with Corus Entertainment, told dignitaries at a reception.
