What happens
W5 is a Canadian news magazine television program that was broadcast by CTV from 1966 to 2024. The title refers to the Five Ws of journalism: Who, What, Where, When and Why? It was the longest-running news magazine/documentary program in North America and the most-watched program of its type in Canada. In February 2024, Bell Media announced that W5 would conclude as a regular television series after 58 seasons, due to cutbacks at the company; in September 2024, CTV News would relaunch the brand as an investigative journalism unit, producing long-form stories for broadcast on CTV News programs and platforms, and occasional documentary specials for CTV under the branding W5: Avery Haines Investigates.
