Newman, 42, who many will remember from his short stint as the co-host of ABC's Good Morning America, was in Calgary for Tuesday night's Global Television Fall Launch 2001, showcased in front of a packed crowd at the Fairmont Palliser. The evening included a sneak peek at which of Calgary's favourite shows including proven prime-time successes as Friends, Frasier and Will Grace will air in September, as well as programs that TV types are touting as promising new series.

So the more that we can develop another agenda, a different voice, I think the more successful we'll be." vision Network, is national news. That's where Global National News comes in a big-budget, new national newscast based in Vancouver. Toronto-born Newman was the logical choice for what's being hyped as a fast, focused, cutting-edge 30 minutes of national and international news aimed directly at the young urban professional.

"He's very talented to begin with," says Rusnak. "He's also a very high-profile Canadian journalist, someone who's had good exposure and good training A-Channel tempted by reality TV Krall's coming Calgary Herald Grammy and Juno Award winner Diana Krall will be returning to Calgary with a full orchestra when she performs two dates at the Jack Singer Concert Hall on Oct 13 and Oct. 14.
