CBC Vancouver today announces the launch of a new host team for its TV newscast programming, CBC Vancouver News.
Starting Monday, Nov. 19, a collective of fresh and seasoned journalists will bring community issues and news that matter most to British Columbians to the forefront, seven days a week: Mike Killeen and Anita Bathe at 6 p.m., together with senior meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe; Dan Burritt at 11 p.m.; and Lien Yeung on the weekends.
"CBC is the national public broadcaster and we have a mandate to provide British Columbians with the most trusted and balanced news possible across a variety of platforms — and TV news, especially local news, is still a vital piece," says Johnny Michel, senior managing director, British Columbia and Alberta.
"And with the changing landscape of media and how our audience consumes their news, not only will our host team be visible on TV, but they will also report across a multitude of media channels, from radio to online. These are talented and award-winning journalists who are genuinely passionate about the news and they represent the new CBC Vancouver News."
