Ignition News

Ignition News (formerly Northern American Newsdesk, MLTVN Newsdesk, TVP News and CTS Newsdesk) is the main news program of Ignition One and Ignition Two (only afternoons since 2022).

History
On January 11, 2010, Northern American Newsdesk was rebranded and the noon edition was released to extend the afternoon edition an hour earlier.

On October 1, 2012, since the channel switched to a full widescreen format, Northern American Newsdesk also rebranded.

On September 25-30, 2018, there are no news due to the closure of Northern American Channel and will return to Monica Laverne Television Network on the first day of October 2018. On the NAC News channel, last week's replays were shown there.

On January 11, 2020 at 5:00 PM, the first intro (lasted 65 seconds) was played, remastered and shortened to 55 seconds as part of its 40th anniversary.

On May 23, 2022, the afternoon edition was moved to Ignition Two, while the noon edition returns after three and a half years.
