Note this service will start in the fall.
CBC News is launching a free, ad-supported streaming channel in the fall, with a daily news show led by The National's Andrew Chang as its flagship program, the public broadcaster announced Thursday.
The channel will be available to stream 24/7, according to a press release. Chang will step back from The National in August, with co-anchor Adrienne Arsenault taking over hosting duties from Monday to Thursday under a new title, chief correspondent for CBC News.
Ian Hanomansing is the new permanent host of Cross Country Checkup and will continue to host The National on Friday and Sunday.
