Back in the day, movies were also a staple of CityTV. Seems to be a pattern.
What would be refreshing, and I think would work, is a low tech solution, a la CityTV of old. Because CH is carried in so many markets (I was watching the 11pm CH news in a hotel in Brockville last week) there could segments from various parts of the province/country. I'd love to know what's going on in other cities with music, art, high level civic topics. Reports and episodes filmed on a low budget (videographer), and edited to a professional level would be excellent.
Perhaps, increased local commentary, on-going issue coverage, and local visibility into other jurisdictions might rehabilitate and re-invigorate a local station.
