====OneStop media system==== [[File:Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station (39176632581).jpg|thumb|Large LCD television screens that display the news and updates for TTC services are installed in most subway stations, such as [[Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station]].]] The TTC, in partnership with Pattison OneStop (formerly OneStop Media Group), have installed large LCD television screens in most subway stations throughout the system except on [[Line 3 Scarborough]] and at the [[Toronto–York Spadina subway extension]] ({{stl|TTC|Downsview Park}} to {{stn|Vaughan Metropolitan Centre}}) stations. The new media system replaced the old "Subway Online" system, which were decommissioned. The signs feature third-party advertising, news headlines and weather information. From its inception in 2005 until December 31, 2017, the news feed and advertising for television programs were supplied under a contract with [[Bell Media]]'s 24-hour local cable television news service, [[CP24]]. Since January 1, 2018, the service has been provided by [[Global Television Network]]'s Toronto television station [[CIII-DT]] 41, which is owned by [[Corus Entertainment]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/3964710/global-news-ttc-screens/ |title=Global News named content provider for TTC screens by PATTISON Onestop |website=globalnews.ca}}</ref> The signs also provide TTC-specific information regarding service changes and delays, information pertaining to using the system, and [[Toronto Police Service]] alerts about suspects.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.222tips.com/index.php?pt=news&sec=4&sub=1076 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070802112236/http://www.222tips.com/index.php?pt=news&sec=4&sub=1076 |archive-date=August 2, 2007 |title=Toronto Crime Stoppers Launches 'UNDERGROUND ALERT' |date=June 12, 2007 |publisher=Toronto Crime Stoppers |access-date=July 21, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/2007/06/12/wanted-criminals-to-show-up-on-subway-monitors/ |work=CityNews |title=Wanted Criminals To Show Up On Subway Monitors |access-date=December 27, 2014 |date=June 12, 2007}}</ref> The system can also be used when an [[Amber alert]] is issued, which also may include announcements via the PA system. In September 2008, [[Dundas station (Toronto)|Dundas station]] was the first to feature a "Next Train" announcement integrated into the signage. The system has been expanded to many other stations since its initial rollout.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www3.ttc.ca/Media_releases/TTC_begins_rollout_of_next_train_arrival_signs.jsp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081002044429/http://www3.ttc.ca/Media_releases/TTC_begins_rollout_of_next_train_arrival_signs.jsp |archive-date=October 2, 2008 |title=TTC begins rollout of next train arrival signs |date=September 3, 2008 |publisher=Toronto Transit Commission |access-date=December 27, 2014}}</ref> Since mid-July 2009, the majority of stations have been equipped with this service and since January 2018 – coinciding with a content provider switch from CP24 to [[Global News]] – the next train arrival time notices were also updated to provide the line number and the destination of the next train. The TYSSE stations have screens that display the arrival times for the next two or three trains. Unlike the older screens, these screens neither display news nor weather headlines provided by Global News.
