Bell Media’s CTV News announced Wednesday the appointment of award-winning business journalist Amanda Lang as its chief financial correspondent.
In her new role, Lang will contribute regular updates and analysis on Canada’s financial landscape and key business stories across multiple CTV News platforms, including CTV National News, BNN Bloomberg, CTV News Channel and CP24.
In addition, she continues to host Taking Stock, BNN Bloomberg’s multi-platform, weekly roundup of business news, which airs Fridays at 3 p.m. ET on BNN Bloomberg, as well as on bnnbloomberg.ca, CTV News Channel, CP24, and as a podcast on iHeartRadio Canada.
“In a complex economic landscape, it’s an honour to be part of a team bringing clear reporting that helps people navigate financial decisions with confidence,” Lang said in a Bell Media press release. “When we do our jobs well, we don’t just inform, we empower people.”
“Amanda Lang is an exceptional talent who excels at breaking down financial stories for viewers, and in this new role with the CTV News team, she will expand her impact to focus on delivering financial news and analysis across all of our platforms,” Richard Gray, vice president of news at Bell Media, said in the release. “With the world’s attention focused on financial markets and the intricacies surrounding international trade, Amanda’s unique perspective and ability to cut through the noise will be an invaluable resource for our audiences.”
Lang brings more than 25 years of experience covering North America’s business markets, including key roles at BNN Bloomberg, its predecessor RoBTV/BNN, and CBC.
In 2010, she received a Gemini Award for Best Host or Interviewer in a News Information Program or Series, when she was co-hosting CBC’s The Lang & O’Leary Exchange with Canadian businessman Kevin O’Leary. The program was renamed The Exchange with Amanda Lang after O’Leary’s departure a few years later.
Lang left CBC in 2015 to become a host at Channel Zero’s Bloomberg TV Canada, before it was discontinued in 2017. Lang rejoined Bell Media’s BNN in 2018, just as it was being renamed BNN Bloomberg via a partnership between Bell Media and U.S.-based Bloomberg Media.
