Omar Sachedina has been named Chief News Anchor and Senior Editor of CTV National News, Canada’s most-watched nightly newscast.

Earlier today, CTV announced the departure of Lisa LaFlamme, a trusted broadcaster and distinguished voice in Canadian news for decades. She has been on the front line of the world’s biggest headlines with an unfailing commitment to delivering the stories that matter most to Canadians.

Sachedina, currently National Affairs Correspondent for CTV News, is an award-winning veteran journalist with more than 15 years of experience covering many of the world’s most significant breaking news stories on the ground, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, the 75th D-Day Anniversary in Normandy, France, as well as natural disasters in Haiti and Indonesia.

He has also travelled with the Prime Minister to cover international summits during his tenure in CTV’s Parliamentary Bureau, and has reported from the Federal Election campaign trail for several elections, interviewing federal party leaders.

Nothing personal Omar but I’m now out for anything CTV or BellMedia! Solidarity for Lisa LaFlamme. This notification could have been delayed…or you could have pushed back… wait that’s what Lisa did!! 😡

Just another nightly LIAR -- TRUTH DOESN'T EXIST IN THE CTV

Why did Lisa get fired. She was great on the news.

Who cares.. They do not report the news anyway.. They are more into community events evening announcements.

Shame on CTVNews and BellMediaPR .

Nope! Rather poke my eyes out. What a stupid decision CTV.

Shame on you for firing Lisa Laflamme. Couldn't handle a mature woman. Will never watch your news channel again.

Probably buddies . Unfortunately I’ve heard this story before / throw out the woman for a buddy. sad it happens a lot. Wish everybody the best but it suxks being on receiving end. Unfair.

Woopee shit.

What happened? Does anyone know? Watched all of her years there

Ain’t no Lisa. I definitely won’t be watching.

FORMERLY most-watched. I'll never tune in again.

Nobody is watching anyway
