If there's big news that happens late on Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday?

New Brunswickers will have a wait till Monday to find out the details.

All radio stations are replace by computers and no newspapers.

The only media outlet is ATV News and even then you'll only get a few minutes of news.

Is New Brunswick the only province in Canada that dies on Friday evening?

Not true. 92.3 Fred FM has live news both Saturday and Sunday.

Yeah, but is it from their reporters or ripped off of the newswire servie. Charles is right that weekend news service in NB is poor. Here's an instance where the CBC should be stepping in as the public broadcaster. They're supposed to fill gaps and help our national identity (what is that? depends who you ask.) How about a provincial newscast on the weekend. They have more resources and their folks are better paid than anyone else and that's despite the cutbacks they've had. Charles is correct. If you want NB news on the weekend tune in ATV. It may not be the best either but it's the best you'll get. At least they're doing something.
