Daybreak and local news
Mornings belong to Daybreak, CBC Montréal's breakfast programme, which covers the news and stories of the city and the province for English-speaking Quebecers, with interviews, reports and conversation. Afternoon local programming follows the news as the day ends, and regular newscasts keep listeners informed. Topics that matter to Montréal's anglophone community — from language law to health care and education — get careful attention.
