Changes

From its 1974 launch, Global has grown to its current level of 15 stations owned by Corus, along with two independently-owned affiliates. [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador]] independent station CJON-DT is also supplied with some Global programming, though it is not branded as such on the station (except for national newscast ''Global National'') but is instead marketed as syndicated programming.
