TV News Monitoring in Canada
Monitor major national and regional television news broadcasts across Canada in both official languages—English and French. Press Monitor delivers recorded segments, curated summaries, and searchable transcripts tailored to your organisation, sector, or policy focus.
Why Monitor TV News?
In Canada’s diverse and bilingual media landscape, television news remains a powerful force shaping public opinion, influencing government policy, and driving investor sentiment. For organisations working in fast-paced, compliance-sensitive, or public-facing domains, staying informed is not optional—it’s mission critical.
Press Monitor’s TV News Monitoring service offers real-time awareness of how your organisation, industry, or key issues are being represented on air. From early morning headlines to prime-time panels, our solution ensures you receive verified, structured coverage—delivered directly to your team.
Scope of Media Monitored
TV News Monitoring from PressMonitor.ca is uniquely designed for Canadian clients, delivering relevant and compliant broadcast intelligence:
English and French Coverage
As Canada’s two official languages, English and French are fully supported. Language-specific queries ensure no nuance is lost in translation or monitoring.
Publicly Accessible Sources Only
Our TV coverage is limited to news content available online in the public domain, respecting Canadian copyright frameworks and broadcast rights.
Paywalled Archives
Where TV content is republished on websites or made accessible via RSS, sitemaps, or authorised APIs, it is indexed for tracking and retrieval.
Audio-Visual and Transcript Outputs
Recorded broadcasts, video summaries, and transcripts are delivered in standard formats for easy integration into workflows.
Mainstream Broadcast Channels
We monitor content from national broadcasters like CBC, CTV, Global News, and other publicly accessible provincial or regional networks.
Multimedia Normalisation and Translation
Whether spoken in English or French, content is translated and delivered in your preferred language upon request, enabling true bilingual intelligence.
Social Handles and Embedded Clips
Video segments shared on social media by broadcasters are included in tracking where available.
What Problem Does It Solve?
Canadian decision-makers need broadcast intelligence that is:
— Critical news breaks before most dashboards update.
— TV coverage is split between French and English media. Most services monitor only one language or ignore regional broadcasts.
— Without thematic classification or keyword tagging, valuable coverage gets buried.
— Manual notetaking or missed clips cannot serve compliance or litigation needs.
— Teams need mobile-friendly dashboards and instant delivery, not bulky archives.
TV News Monitoring solves these with structured, searchable, bilingual access to relevant Canadian broadcast content.
