CTV Vancouver’s Steele on Your Side weekly consumer program will soon be seen across the nation.
Hosted by award-winning consumer reporter Lynda Steele, the half-hour program will start broadcasting on the Business News Network this weekend.
“We’re thrilled to be joining the BNN family,” Lynda Steele says. “This is the quintessential news you can use program because we’re all consumers and these are issues that affect all of us.”
The popular half-hour digest, an expansion of Steele’s nightly segments on CTV News at Six, originally premiered on CTV Vancouver in October 2013.
The program puts consumer issues to the forefront and is aimed at helping Canadians make informed decisions about the products and issues that affect their pocketbooks.
Weekly topics range from the hottest trends in technology, fraud warnings and consumer advocacy, to what’s making waves in the business world.
“The show really takes the pulse of what’s going on in the consumer world. Whether it’s showcasing the newest innovation in technology to testing out those ‘As Seen on TV’ products, we deliver informative and interesting content to our loyal viewers,” says show producer Darcy Wintonyk.
New episodes air on Sundays at 3:30 p.m. PT on CTV Vancouver and nationally on BNN Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. PT and Sundays at 5:30 p.m. PT.
Steele on Your Side receives about 1,000 story ideas each week through email and phone, and these viewer tips are often turned into stories.
