Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. November 13th, 2026

Due to ‘extraordinary circumstances’ and ‘for reasons of safety’, the USA’s Federal Aviation Administration has issued a nationwide ground-stop. They are citing communications issues affecting air traffic control centers as the catalyst for these drastic measures. This affects every single U.S. airport and every single flight that is coming in and out of America right now. Now, for curious Sens fans out there, we did receive word that the team has landed safely in Pittsburgh ahead of tomorrow's game against the Penguins. We gather instant reaction on the late-afternoon madness from aviation expert John Gradek. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Stefan Keyes. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Fri. November 13th, 2026

We’ve all worked with that person before – the colleague who updates the group chat every single time they erase a task off their to-do list. Or, better yet, the employee who posts a daily highlight reel of their social media productivity. Today, we have a name for it. It’s called ‘loud working’. In Hour 3, we get the 4-1-1 with Cal Youngwirth, the Director of Permanent Placement Services at employment agency Robert Half. But first, Kristy Cameron opens the CFRA textboard and dissects today’s Question of the Day. How badly did the great Microsoft outage of 2026 impact your Thursday grind? Text into the show or give us a ring!

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. November 13th, 2026

After countless delays that spanned countless years, this coming Thursday symbolizes a long-awaited moment in video game history. On that day, Grand Theft Auto VI will finally be available for purchase! And while the lineups might not be as long as the debut of the latest Apple product, they could be pretty darn close to reaching that threshold. In fact, some might take the day off work just to play it on their console-of-choice. CFRA’s Chris Holski tells us if he’ll be among the gamer crowd. Meantime, if you’d rather go see a new movie at the box office, perhaps one of this week’s options tickles your fancy! Matt Demers drops by with his Weekly Movie Picks. Plus, permeable pavement is being installed along the road shoulders of Anna Avenue and Crown Crescent. It’s a City of Ottawa pilot project that incorporates PurePave technology. And that business, by the way, is Ottawa born-and-raised. Kristy Cameron checks in with Taylor Davis, the owner of PurePave Technologies, in Hour 2.
