A News is the name of local newscasts on A television system in Canada. To avoid confusion with the indefinite article, the program's name is often written inside single quotes as 'A' News.
On August 11, 2008, following the relaunch from A-Channel to A, A-Channel newsrooms across the country were rebranded as 'A' News and now feature a dynamic new on-air look. 'A' News graphics will incorporate the stylized 'A' black and white logo on a red and blue backdrop. , although the theme music was retained. Unofficially, the stations' employees had since referred to the programs as A News before the official name change took place.'A' News coverage will continue to deliver the major news, weather and sports stories impacting their local communities every day. 'A' News stations are located in Victoria/Vancouver, Barrie/Toronto, London, Windsor, Wingham and Ottawa.
