It is appalling that CTV would lay off such an experienced and engaging anchor. All due respect to Graham Richardson, but this just smacks of sexism and ageism and I find it appalling.

I am appauled at this action by Bell Media. Carolyn is devoted to our community and after 27 years of service, this is how she is treated?

I grew up watching her - she is a big reason as to why I still watch CTV at 6.

Carol Ann IS the 6 o'clock news. She has more grace, poise, dignity and compassion when reporting the news than anyone! What on earth were you thinking sacking our Carol?

Carol Ann is a foundation in the community and the heart of CTV News in Ottawa. The network has lost me as a viewer.

I have grown up watching Carol Anne Meehan ever since I was a little girl. She has done so much for the community. I am in complete shock that this has happened and am extremely disappointed in those responsible for her being let go. She adds such warmth and passion to the news. I will no longer being watching CTV news without her. I find Graham Richardson to be cold and apathetic.

This is a devastating loss for the City of Ottawa. She is a legend and CTV needs to bring her back. Max Keeping would be ashamed of this decision. Shame on CTV!!!

This is a horrible way to treat long time employees who have dedicated their time and energy to the company and our community. This is also a step back in time to when only men co-anchored broadcasting. Now Bell Media have only MEN at the table when we are living in a society of equal opportunities for men and women. Just because she is making more than others she is the one to wear the brunt; She is also a single mom. Also Carolyn Waldo a Olympic athlete wow I guess we will have to watch the news on other stations as this station and company needs to be boycotted. Let them loose some more money.

She is probably the reason our household always watched this newscast. Even my daughter, who is now 26, said we grew up watching the news with her
