He will be leaving his post as CBC's chief correspondent and host of The National next summer at age 68; the article seems to implicate that he will be retiring after July 1, 2017, celebrating Canada's 150th.

 

It's likely that Wendy Mesley (who currently anchors on Fridays) may be his full-time replacement, unless they have someone else in mind (oddly enough, CTV and Global's main newscasts are led by women too). Let the speculation begin.

Wendy Mesley would probably be next in line, or Ian Hanomansing.

 

Still kinda hoping Kevin Newman goes back to anchoring a national newscast in Canada again. He was great on Global National.
