TORONTO — Can four new hosts take the place of an anchor who led CBC’s “The National” for nearly 30 years? There’s no blaring theme song to open this new “National,” no showy, brightly coloured graphics off the top. Viewers are then whisked to Toronto-based Ian Hanomansing and Adrienne Arsenault, Rosemary Barton in Ottawa and Andrew Chang in Vancouver. After the break, Barton walked viewers through reports that a senior advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in tax-haven trouble. In one corner is a stack of old cameras, microphones and other artifacts from “National” newscasts past, a towering tribute to CBC’s broadcasting heritage.
