Beginning today, CBN will provide 23 daily business reports including

“Financial news has always been important to CFRB 1010. This new
collaboration will provide CFRB listeners with enhanced market news and
business news they can use,” said CFRB’s Operations Manager Steve Kowch.
“It’s easier to follow the money on CFRB with Reuters, Wall Street
Journal reports and market updates twice an hour when the financial
markets are open in Toronto and New York,” stated Kowch. “We’re excited
that Toronto’s most respected market analyst Fred Ketchen will be heard
five times a day on CFRB. His expertise will go a long way in providing
CFRB listeners with the informed opinion they need to understand the
markets and make the right investment decisions.”
