One, two, COVID's coming for you

This fall... whatever you do, don't fall asleep... after the news.

Here's a sneak preview clip from the premiere of Because News, where host Gavin Crawford and his hilarious panel of smart alecks make games out of the week's news. Panellists discuss the breaking stories we cared about, the ones we didn't - but probably should've - and the ones that just left us feeling newsy-ated.

The TV edition of the series premieres Sunday, Oct. 18th at 7 p.m. (7:30 NT) on CBC Television and CBC Gem. You can always find the radio show every week on CBC Radio, Saturdays at 11 a.m. (11:30 NT), as well as the podcast, available on CBC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts.

The panellists from this week's clip includes Andrew Phung (Kim's Convenience), Jennifer Whalen (Baroness von Sketch Show) & Martha Chaves.
