Familiar Canadian Face Fills In On The CBS News Live Stream

Like most of the major U.S. networks, CBS runs a 24-hour live news stream. Most of the people who appear on it aren't exactly household names. But during the holidays, at least one was.

Ex-pat Evan Solomon, who now lives and works in New York City publishing a magazine, did fill-in anchor work for the web network over the holidays, sitting in the air chair during Christmas and Boxing Day. He looks pretty good behind that desk.

I did not realize that Evan Solomon had moved to New York.  I use to enjoy listening to him on NT1010 until he went to Ottawa.  When did he move to New York?

He started at his new position in Oct. 2022, but I don't think he completely left Ottawa until several months later, having some drama he outlined in debriefs on CFRB about selling his house. Once that was resolved, he's been in the Big Apple ever since. 

Here's one of the stories from back then outlining how he wound up there.
