Ian Hanomansing Returns to The National
Tonight was Ian Hanomansing’s last night co-hosting CBC News: Vancouver.
The veteran CBC journalist is moving to The National, where he’ll join Duncan McCue as a regular West Coast contributor.
Over the years Hanomansing has frequently appeared on the show, most recently during the Olympics. On the internal CBC portal they recapped his career so far:
Ian joined CBC News in 1986. During this time he has had a wide variety of assignments as a reporter, anchor and interviewer. Among the major stories he’s covered: the Exxon Valdez oil spill and San Francisco earthquake (both in 1989), the Los Angeles riot (1992), Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riot (1994), the Hong Kong handover (1997) and numerous Olympic Games. He hosted Pacific Rim Report, which focused on Canada’s connection to Asia; Times 7, a joint venture between CBC News and the New York Times; Canada Now, a national supper-hour newscast; Still Talking Hockey, a sports-themed late night program on CBC British Columbia; and Feeling the Heat, a summer series about the environment on CBC Radio One. Ian won the 2008 Gemini Award for the best news anchor.
What do you think of the move?

even though i’m not a vancouverite, i think it’s a pity that Ian will be leaving an anchoring position, especially in one that he has been so well-placed and familiar with.
i hope that now that he will report for The National, it would pave his way for becoming Peter’s replacement and Chief Correspondent some day in the future. cause in my opinion, if there’s anyone that’s even close to replacing Peter, which I hope it won’t happen anytime soon, Ian would be someone i would be satisfy with.
Ian will never be as good as Chris Brown or Eve Savory reporting from the Wet Coast for the Anglo part of CBC.
Maybe he’ll work his (unwatched on CBC-NNnnnn) Asia-Pacific beat stories in. That might be interesting as Mansbridge is unilingual and can’t work in any other languages.
Aw Ian! We love him in B.C!
At least hopefully we’ll see him on The National and hopefully CBC will groom him to be the next Peter Mansbridge .
It puts a smile on my face to see Ian hosting the National tonight. I guess this may be the start of something new?
