On September 12, 2011, CTV Edmonton expanded its evening news programming by adding a 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. newscast. In November 2014 those two 1/2 hour shows were amalgamated into a single 1 hour show anchored by Erin Isfeld and Joel Gotlib. On September 30, 2012, CFRN-DT became the second television station in Edmonton (after Global-owned station CITV-DT) and the fourth CTV owned-and-operated station to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition, beginning with that evening's 6 p.m. newscast. However, CTV promoted October 1, 2012, as its official "full day" of HD news broadcasts.
