It's likely that Wendy Mesley (who currently anchors on Fridays) may be his full-time replacement, unless they have someone else in mind (oddly enough, CTV and Global's main newscasts are led by women too). Let the speculation begin. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15336-peter-mansbridge-retiring-next-year/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlnews2 591 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 And with that, the last of the previous generation of great news anchors on both sides of the border has retired.

Let the speculation begin. Wendy Mesley would probably be next in line, or Ian Hanomansing. Still kinda hoping Kevin Newman goes back to anchoring a national newscast in Canada again. He was great on Global National. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15336-peter-mansbridge-retiring-next-year/#findComment-159214 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 2418 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I was also thinking about Kevin Newman: whatever happened to him? He just disappeared... Kevin will anchor CTV's W5, replacing Lloyd Robertson.
