Former CTV news anchor Carol Anne Meehan will be returning to Ottawa’s airwaves soon, hosting a daily news and local affairs radio show.

The official announcement won’t be made by the station until next Tuesday, so Meehan isn’t revealing exactly for whom or when the show will air, but says that it will launch towards the end of May.

“I’m very, very happy,” she said. “Very excited. Six months ago, I wasn’t sure if anything was ever going to happen again, but I feel like this is going to be my second career.

“(The show) will be issues of the day,” she adds, “the things that matter in the city, but I’m also hoping to bring my own style or brand to it so it’s not just serious stuff. There’s so much more that’s going on in the city than just politics.”

The switch from television to radio won’t be completely new for Meehan. She worked for CBC-radio in Calgary before returning to the Ottawa area in 1989 to co-anchor CJOH-TV’s Newsline with Max Keeping.
