The station currently produces an hour-and-a-half of local newscasts every weekday, and two hours of local news on weekends (consisting of half-hour newscasts at 6 and 10 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday nights).

On May 31, 2011, Shaw Media announced that a new local weekday morning newscast would begin broadcasting on Global Regina in late-August 2011. The morning newscast will run from 6 to 9 a.m. Central Time.^[1] On August 11, 2011, it was announced that Heather Anderson would become Host of the new weekday morning newscast debuting in the fall.^[2]

In late 2011, Global Regina became the first television station in the city to broadcast its news in high definition.
