Good for her. I did a quick interview with her when she was hosting an event at Mohawk College, while I was a journalism student, also at Mohawk.

I don't feel anyone currently on staff is even remotely experienced as her to take over her role. Yes, Rick is new to CHCH as her co-host, but he has decades of radio news experience. So I'm curious who gets it. I stand by my statement, but I wonder if Nicole Martin will come out of hiding, since abandoning her own show for what feels like years now, yet she is still listed as host on their website, and her instagram page. 

Anchoring is an easier job, so it should go to someone who has done their time in the field. Since the purge in 2015, no one currently there, or who joined after 2015, feels like a suitable candidate.

While I say anchoring is easy, there is much more live, in studio interviews and discussions on a morning show, then an evening newscast. So while hosting, I feel you do need to be a good conversationalist and interviewer for this role. Most of the last hour of Morning Live is just news headlines and interviews.
