‘Saturday Night Live’ moving to CTV in Canada after decades on Global

Cast of the 51st season of 'Saturday Night Live'

TORONTO — Live from CTV and Crave it’s “Saturday Night Live.”

The comedy-sketch show will be moving to Bell Media-owned properties this fall after a decades-long run on Global.

“SNL” will air in simulcast on CTV and NBC and stream live on Crave, with new episodes available next day on the streaming platform.

Crave also recently picked up the new British adaptation of the franchise called “Saturday Night Live UK.”

Bell says it negotiated the deal with NBC Universal’s global distribution arm.

Corus Entertainment, which owns Global, said in a statement the company has decided to move on.

“For decades, Global has been proud to be the Canadian home of ‘Saturday Night Live.’ As the show concludes its 51st season, we’ve decided to move on from the series as we continue to evolve our lineup and invest in programming that reflects where audiences are headed.”
