MONTREAL (September 15, 2025) – CTV News Montreal announced today the debut of an all-new virtual reality set for CTV News broadcasts. The new studio will be utilized for each of the station’s local newscasts beginning today, including CTV NEWS AT 5 with anchor Maya Johnson; CTV NEWS AT 6 with anchor Mutsumi Takahashi; and CTV NEWS AT 11:30 with anchor Caroline Van Vlaardingen, as well as the 6 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. weekend newscasts. 

The newly modernized virtual studio environment reinforces CTV News Montreal’s commitment to delivering the most dynamic daily newscasts, with multiple modular screens to provide high-quality news graphics, video footage, live interviews, and more. The move to a virtual set is a first for CTV News and follows Noovo Info which went virtual in 2024. 

“This innovative new virtual reality studio not only delivers a visually striking news environment for our viewers, it also allows us to tell stories in dynamic new ways,” said Jean-Philippe Pineault, General Manager, Quebec News, Bell Media. “Building on the success following Noovo Info’s transition to a virtual set, and thanks to the technological advances offered by this state-of-the-art studio, we will continue to evolve our newscasts for years to come.” 

CTV Montreal is Quebec’s most-watched English-language station, and CTV News delivers the biggest stories of the day to viewers across the province through its daily newscasts, as well as on CTVNews.ca and the CTV News app.
