On May 30, 2012, Shaw Media announced further expansions to Global's news programming offerings, with the launch of a new half-hour noon newscast on Global Toronto on August 27, and the expansion of primetime newscasts on Global Winnipeg, Global Saskatoon, Global Regina to one hour (and in turn, re-branding them from ''Prime News'' to ''News Hour Final'') on August 20. The previously announced weekday morning newscasts on Global Montreal and Global Maritimes were also confirmed to launch in fall 2012 on dates yet to be determined (their launches were later postponed to early 2013). Local morning newscasts on Global BC, Global Edmonton and Global Calgary were also expanded, with the weekday morning newscasts on all three stations lengthened to four hours on August 27, and the Sunday morning news programs expanding to three hours starting September 2, 2012. ''16:9'' was also moved from Saturdays to Friday nights, and Global News' website also received a redesign in early 2013 with compatibility for mobile devices in mind.

Centralization

On April 9, 2015, Shaw announced cutbacks of Global's local news operations and a subsequent re-organization. Under these changes, which began to take effect in August 2015, production of late night and weekend newscasts in markets outside of Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Toronto, are centralized out of Global's studios in Toronto. Anchors and meteorologists are provided by the centralized news operation, while local stories are presented by the station's reporters. Local morning shows in these markets also switched to a hybrid local/national format with an eight-minute long national segment every half-hour. Local morning shows and evening newscasts otherwise continue to be produced locally. Troy Reeb, Global's senior vice president of news and station operations, explained that these changes would allow individual stations to devote more resources to the creation of local news content for television and digital platforms, and reduce redundancy in their coverage of national headlines. Reeb also explained that the changes were meant to allow staff reductions, whilst allowing the network to "find innovative ways" to distribute news content; at least 80 jobs were lost nationwide as part of the process. In June 2015, Global announced that it had acquired Canadian rights to ''

Centralization of news presentation has been partially reverted as of January 2019. 11:00 p.m. newscasts east of Manitoba are still anchored from Toronto. Global Regina, Global Saskatoon, and Global Winnipeg no longer use Toronto anchors for their 10:00 p.m. local newscasts. Further decentralization has occurred as of March 2021, with the three prairie stations centralizing their weekday evening newscast production through a new MMC base out of Global's Regina's facility. The Saskatchewan 5 p.m. news, the Regina and Saskatoon 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts, and the Winnipeg 10:00 p.m. news, are presented in an MMC format by an anchor from the Global's Winnipeg studios. Global Winnipeg's 6:00 p.m newscast continues to be presented live from Winnipeg. Weekend newscasts have not changed and are still anchored out of Toronto from Saskatchewan to Nova Scotia. In September 2020, Global Montreal switched to a Toronto anchor for its evening news.
