VANCOUVER, CANADA - 630 CHED, News|Talk|Sports, the leading news-talk radio station in Edmonton, Canada has upgraded their newsroom to Burli. Station reporters, editors and on-air staff are producing more than 50 news and sports bulletins a day using the news production software. CHED’s sister stations, Power 92 FM, CISN Country 103.9 and CHQT AM 880, have also installed the system for producing their own news updates and for interview recording and editing.
