About ANewsVanIsland
ANewsVanIsland is a Victoria-based YouTube news channel that covered stories across Vancouver Island, Canada, from 2009 until its rebrand to CTV Vancouver Island in August 2011. Its uploads were short news reports on politics, public services, crime, local business and community events, typically two to four minutes long and filmed on location with on-camera reporters.
The channel reached about 9,300 subscribers and 19 million lifetime views. Median views per video were around 1,600. Audience estimates suggest an older, regional viewership concentrated on Vancouver Island, though this is inferred from channel content rather than measured. The channel has had no uploads since 2011, so it is best treated as an archive.
The channel has no sponsored content on record. A sponsored integration would cost $150 to $250 per video under Starbooked's rate rule, which works out to a CPM of $20 to $35 per 1,000 views, compared with $10 to $30 typical for paid ads. Brands seeking current local reach should look at the active CTV Vancouver Island channel instead.
