CBC is launching 14 free ad-supported streaming channels dedicated to local news across Canada in an effort to attract younger audiences who don’t have the “traditional habits” of linear news consumers.On Thursday, the public broadcaster debuted CBC News BC and CBC News Toronto on platforms including CBC Gem and the CBC News App, with additional platforms expected to join in the coming weeks.Within a year, CBC said 12 more so-called FAST channels will serve audiences in the North and every province, including dedicated channels in Calgary, Edmonton, Windsor, Ont. and Ottawa.
