I think it is disgraceful to lay off employees who have worked for your company for years and don't even give them a chance to say goodbye to their viewers. Shame on you.d

CTV, one of the reasons I enjoyed watching tv ottawa news at 6:00 was Carol Anne Meehan. Consider me an ex viewer.

CTV got turned off. She is a valuable part of the Ottawa community. This is a disgrace.

Seriously don't you think she went through enough, try cut backs in the executive office instead

This is the way Bell does things. It is no surprise to some of the readers they have done this before and it will not be the last time.

When Max left there was a gap and Carol Ann helped us get through by holding that gap together but now it will be gap that no one could ever fill and even bigger gap that CTV will soon see with their ratings as viewers have tuned them out. One door closes another one opens and it's their loss and I personally would never go back even if they begged. Carol Anne you were the best but after seeing what Max went through and not enjoying the retirement in a way he should have and your competitor CBC News anchor Lucy....lady sit back re calibrate and enjoy life!!

Folks, I've been watching CBC Ottawa @ 6 for a week now and it's waaaaayyyyy better than the current CTV lineup. Without Carol Anne there's no life, no energy, those three yahoos look like they're made of wood. Even JJ, without Carol Anne's presence, his weather report is informative but dry. At least CBC's anchors provide ethnic diversity and some gender balance. Their reporting is a bit conservative but, you know, it'll do. Until Carol Anne is reinstated. Give it a go, it's better than what's left at CTV Ottawa. Plus I don't trust them not to lay off the good guys - JJ Clarke and Michael O'Byrne. If they'll get rid of the heart of our community AND an Olympic Gold Medalist, I wouldn't put anything past them.

Why Graham got anchor was beyond me - and I no longer watch CTV as I find him extremely annoying - Carol Anne had a peaceful way of delivering the news not sounding joyful during difficult times and she stood for the underprivileged, those challenged and was a great side-kick to Max. How could a company strike so hard at such a sombre time for those long-term, diligent, professional, competent and well respected journalists - and why so many women - including Carolyn Waldo!!!!! Oh - too many male CEOs with expensive tastes.

Bad move. Why cut off such a relationship with Ottawa? as this lady has established over many years. She breaches the gap between generations and is a familiar face in her role as reporter to the community. Maybe she is not perfect, but that is life. She is good to listen to, and again, has established continuity and relationship. It was a dumb decision, and yes, CTV news is not the same. I wonder what you are trying to achieve by dumping her. Fortunately, there are other familiar faces, but you have missed the point of the advantage of community and these loyal reporters who answer to us. Hurry up and fix things back to the way they were! Thank you.
Please reconsider. We miss her. Bring her back
