HALIFAX – Global Maritimes is bringing back Ron Kronstein as its new senior anchor as it overhauls its evening news programs.
Kronstein will host both the New Brunswick Evening News and the Nova Scotia Evening News, which make their debut on June 13 at 6pm AT. Reporter Marie Adsett will move to the anchor chair to helm Global Maritimes’ hour-long News Final program at 11pm weeknights, while anchor/reporter Rebecca Lau will take over responsibility as anchor of the Weekend News while continuing to report during the week.
A veteran reporter, producer and anchor, Kronstein has more than 25 years of television experience, with 20 of those years having been spent in the Maritimes. Most recently, he served his country in the Canadian Forces, where he helped oversee communications strategy for the military as an Army public affairs officer.
“We are thrilled to be introducing an anchor who has a thorough understanding of all three Maritime provinces”, said Troy Reeb, Shaw Media’s VP of news, in Wednesday’s announcement. “Ron has a great reputation for getting to the bottom of a story and viewers will remember him as someone who has always kept their interests first. We’re heading into the most exciting period of growth in the history of Global Maritimes. Not only are we introducing a brand new anchor, but we’re also investing heavily in new reporters, resources and programming.”
