TORONTO - CBC News is shaking up the anchor roles at “The National” as it makes plans to launch a free 24-hour live streaming channel this fall. CBC’s flagship news program “The National” will now mainly be helmed by veteran journalist Adrienne Arsenault, who has shared the anchor role in recent years. Meanwhile, her current co-anchor Andrew Chang will step away from his role on “The National” in August to begin work on an untitled new daily show on the streaming channel. For many years, CBC News has operated a free streaming channel of highlights from its recent news programming, available on Roku Channel in Canada and various other platforms globally. The existing channel is an early version of what they foresee the new streaming channel becoming, Fenlon said.
