| Montréal: Major market, bilingual news. |
The city of Montréal is Canada's second-largest broadcast market and famed internationally as one of the world's great bilingual cities.
English and French are both spoken fluently in the streets -- and in the city's newsrooms. Which provides a special challenge for newsroom software: to be as readily bilingual as the journalists.
Corus Radio operates a pair of all-news radio operations in Montreal -- Info690 in French; 940News in English.
With more than 80 anchors, reporters, writers and editors operating in the two languages in one facility the stations are dedicated to giving Montréalers the news, traffic sports and weather live 24hours a day in both French and English. Both stations use Burli.
Multiple languages
 |
| Corus Radio Montréal: Two languages, two news teams, one newsroom system. |
Burli's multi-language abilities let journalists share news data between stations and languages while still operating in their own language. And any Burli workstation can - without restarting or interrupting work - switch between the English and French user interfaces.
La Radio des Nouvelles
Info 690 is the news voice of French Montréal. It requires a newsroom system that really works in a French-language environment. That includes incoming news data from French sources like Agence France Presse, and full editing and prompting capabilities for French scripts.
Demanding all-news environment
Journalists in both newsrooms live with the unrelenting pace of all-news radio. Corus Montréal also has to be confident that its newsroom system can keep both operations on the air every moment of every day. It's familiar territory for Burli which powers leading continuous-news operations in cities around the world including New York, London and Toronto.
Reliability and Sophistication
For its multi-language all-news operation, Corus Radio Montréal demands both sophistication and intensity from its newsroom system. Burli offers plenty of both. Just like the city of Montréal itself.
