People have been asking me lately why we haven’t seen Paul Karwatsky on the air in a while. Today, staff learned he’s stepped down from the job.

If CTV Montreal hires someone to replace Karwatsky, he (or she) will be Mutsumi Takahashi’s fifth co-anchor, after Bill Haugland, Brian Britt, Todd van der Heyden and Karwatsky. (Though since the launch of the 5pm newscast, there hasn’t been much actual co-anchoring.)

I went through the list of potential replacements for Paul Karwatsky, and came up with seven names off the top of my head.

They’re all women.

A "massively difficult decision", says @PKarwatsky m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

A brief thank you to Paul Karwatsky from Mutsumi Takahashi at the end of tonight's 6pm newscast.

Goodbye, Paul
