He's Dana Roberts, a reporter with the station, who's been given the air chair and will take his spot on the late news "soon."

From his Linked-In page:

"I am very excited to announce that after more than a year of filling in, I am moving into the anchor chair full time at CTV News Barrie. I will begin anchoring our 11 pm news in the coming weeks. While I love every part of my job, from telling stories in the field to writing for our website, the anchor desk is what I call my professional happy place. I look forward to this new challenge and opportunity, while still getting to tell stories for our 6 o’clock newscast."
