As reported by Gord Lansdell at Northwest Broadcasters, Liza Yuzda (pictured) leaves CKNW AM 980 Vancouver to launch a B.C. Legislative bureau in Victoria for News 1130.
Yuzda has been with ‘NW since April 2010.
Meanwhile, morning co-anchor Amelia John has left News 1130 for Australia. Amanda Wawryk (pictured, below) moves into the vacated position, alongside John Ackerman.
Ria Renouf (pictured, below) is joining News 1130 as its new p.m. drive anchor alongside veteran Jim Bennie, replacing Amanda Wawryk.
Renouf was an anchor/reporter at CKNW AM 980 from 2013-18 and most recently Communications Officer for the BC SPCA.
Leaving the top dog for the all news network? Probably a good choice. You will miss the yuck yuck bunch. You will miss the riveting ace reporters delving into tough questions. What to do with your wedding ring after a divorce? A 5 part series to decide between pawn shops, ebay craigslist or tossing it into English Bay. The uncomfortable question. The hot question. The buzz line. The winners and losers.
Is ‘NW still on the air?
