16 x 9

About The Show

What's in the name?

Most often, 16x9 material offers better quality and a bigger picture. The series program title is inspired by the aspect ratio of high-definition television sets: conventional TV usually broadcasts in 4x3 format, but hi-def is in 16x9. The series investigates stories in a fast-paced weekly, video-driven format.

16x9 is a hard hitting weekly investigative news magazine format that promises to deliver the bigger picture -- a dynamic new current affairs show with flare.

16x9 will feature exclusive ground-breaking investigations, present an in-depth look at the lives of prominent newsmakers, and outline stories about ordinary Canadians caught in extraordinary circumstances.

Unlike the other news magazine shows presently on air, 16x9's studio will be the streets of Canada: a fast-paced, dynamic, video-driven concept highlighted by a vibrant digital graphic package and presented weekly by the Global News team of reporters, anchors and the Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Mary Garofalo. No studios, but an exceptional style of reporter-centered investigation that makes the hosts the reporters and will always feature stories that are of Canadian importance.
