In April 2013, CIHF was rebranded as "Global Halifax", while sister station CIHF-2 in Saint John was rebranded as "Global New Brunswick", marking the first time the stations have not used the same brand. The stations began producing separate nightly newscasts in addition to their already existing separate evening newscasts, and a new senior correspondent was hired for Global New Brunswick. The stations will continue to share news-gathering resources and anchors. Despite the separate branding, the two stations' non-news schedules remain virtually identical, except for separate idents and commercials.
