‘The National’ entering new era Monday with revamp featuring four hosts
TORONTO — Six time zones, three cities, four hosts.
CBC’s revamped “The National” debuts Monday with a new format that aims to reinvent the evening news experience.
“If we get this right, we will show how a late-night national newscast can still actually be relevant,” said Ian Hanomansing, one of a quartet of hosts for the refreshed version of the public broadcaster’s flagship news program.
“It would be the coolest thing ever if, A: this works the way we hope it’s going to work, and B: imagine if other broadcasters in other countries looked at this and said, ‘Let’s try this.’”
