Amanda Jelowicki introduced herself instead as usual, but didn't think to correct the station name. The fixed panel on the front of the newsdesk had been changed to Global Montreal, however (about the only part of the set that required a physical change) ... might be worth keeping an eye out on that part of the set next time you suspect a Toronto or Ottawa newscaster is remotely substituting.
