Almost two weeks after layoffs were announced, CTV Vancouver has unveiled some changes to its local news lineup.
Starting today, CTV Vancouver’s award-winning program CTV News at Six will be anchored by veteran journalist Mi-Jung Le and long-time weather specialist Ann Luu.
“Mi-Jung is one of the great leaders in our newsroom as well as in our community, and she will continue to deliver the stories that matter most to our viewers as she helms our flagship Vancouver newscast,” said Ethan Faber, News Director, CTV Vancouver.
There are also changes for CTV News at Noon and CTV News at Five.
They will now be hosted by award-winning CTV News journalists Nafeesa Karim and Andrew Johnson.
Karim moves from CTV weekends while Johnson joins the team from CTV Vancouver Island.
As for the evenings, Norma Reid continues to host CTV News at 11:30 while Mary Cranston makes the switch from weekend reporter to anchor.
“Nafeesa and Andrew make a formidable anchor team, and with our great team in the morning, Norma continuing to round out our local coverage on late night, and Mary assuming weekend duties, we feel we have a compelling new lineup,” added Faber in a release from CTV.
