Excerpt:
Christopher Waddell, director of Carleton University’s school of journalism and communication, calls Keeping “the dominant television news voice in the community for more than a quarter century.”
Waddell expects the CTV Ottawa newscast will get a makeover, but possibly not until the fall, once viewers get better acquainted with Richardson.
“If you don’t change your program you risk the possibility of people comparing Max’s replacement with Max and maybe thinking the replacement isn’t as good.”
