OTTAWA (March 4, 2026) – CTV News announced today the appointment of Graham Richardson as Ottawa Bureau Chief for CTV NATIONAL NEWS. The longtime CTV News Ottawa Anchor returns to the organization to lead daily news coverage from the nation’s capital across all CTV News platforms. Richardson begins his new role on Monday, March 23. 

In addition to leading breaking news and political coverage from CTV News’ award-winning Ottawa News Bureau team, in his new role Richardson becomes a regular contributor to Canada’s 24-hour all-news network, CTV News Channel, and appears as a back-up host for the network’s marquee weekday political program POWER PLAY. He also hosts weekly Friday editions of Bell Media’s syndicated noon hour national news/talk radio program, THE VASSY KAPELOS SHOW. 

“It’s an honour to return to my reporting roots at CTV NATIONAL NEWS and the Ottawa News Bureau,” said Richardson. “It’s a place that has shaped both my career and my understanding of this country. We’re seeing some of the most significant stories of our lives unfold, and as always, CTV News and the team at the Ottawa News Bureau will tell them with the vigour, passion, and fairness Canadians demand. I can’t wait to get started.” 

“Graham Richardson is an exceptional journalist and newsroom leader with decades of experience covering all aspects of our nation’s capital, and we welcome him back to CTV News,” said Richard Gray, VP News, Bell Media. “With Graham in this role, we will ensure CTV News continues to deliver Canada’s very best political coverage from Parliament Hill across all platforms, along with comprehensive breaking news from the National Capital Region.” 

Richardson announced his departure from CTV News in 2024, having previously served as Chief News Anchor of CTV News Ottawa’s CTV NEWS AT SIX. He joined the CTV News Ottawa team in January 2010, covering significant stories affecting the nation’s capital including the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests, the 2022 Derecho storm, the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, the 2018 Ottawa tornado, and many more. 

Richardson previously spent nearly four years covering Parliament Hill for CTV NATIONAL NEWS, delivering coverage of numerous significant international stories involving Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He filed reports from Kandahar; G-8 meetings in Germany and Japan; and official visits to India, Singapore, the Czech Republic, Poland, and the United Nations headquarters in New York. Before his assignment on Parliament Hill, Richardson was CTV News’ Los Angeles Bureau Chief, covering the Michael Jackson trial, Hurricane Katrina, space shuttle landings, the Mexican election, and the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino.

Working in the iconic CHUM universe for 40 years has been an absolute privilege,” said Marilyn Denis. “As I make the decision to step away from the station I love, I look back with pride and gratitude, knowing I had the honour of saying, ‘I worked at CHUM’. And now, the real adventure is ahead – and I’m looking forward to all of it.”

“There are many words that can describe Marilyn and the lasting impact she’s had, not only on the radio industry but specifically at CHUM 104.5, but the main one is iconic,” said Dave Daigle, VP, Local TV, Radio, and Bell Media Studios. “Marilyn’s historic career has spanned radio and television, and she has connected with listeners and viewers across the country through her candid approach, sense of humour, and ability to lead unforgettable conversations and interviews. While we will all miss having Marilyn wake us up every morning, we are incredibly proud to have been her home for the last 40 years. Marilyn’s legacy will live on through everyone who has had the privilege of working with her, and all those she’s inspired.”

A groundbreaking figure in Canadian broadcasting, Denis announced the conclusion of her popular Canadian Screen Award-winning series THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW in 2023, following 13 seasons on CTV and a 34-year career of daily daytime television.

The Edmonton-born Denis became the first female DJ at KRPL in Moscow, Idaho, before moving to Calgary where she held various radio and television positions including programmer, music director, and traffic reporter. It wasn’t until she auditioned to become Roger Ashby’s co-host at CHUM 104.5, that Denis found her niche. She has always balanced her dynamic radio career with her candid television presence, beginning her career in television by reporting on sports, weather, and entertainment at CTV Calgary, and working as a freelance reporter for TSN. Denis also shared hosting duties on Bravo!'s Gemini Award-winning concert series LIVE AT THE REHEARSAL HALL and was host of the popular daily show CITYLINE for nearly 20 years.

A three-time Gemini Award winner, Denis received The Rosalie Award in 2006, honouring Canadian women who have paved the way for others in radio broadcasting. Denis is also the recipient of the Allan Waters Broadcast Lifetime Achievement Award; is listed as one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 by WXN; was selected as the University of Idaho’s 2017 Commencement Speaker and Honorary Degree recipient; awarded the 2023 Crystal Award for Creative Excellence by Women in Film and Television; and in 2024 received the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Denis was appointed to the Order of Ontario in 2024.

THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW is live weekdays beginning at 5 a.m. ET on CHUM 104.5, and across Canada via audio live stream on iHeart.com and the iHeartRadio Canada app.

On the Season 4 premiere of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING, “Curveballs” (Sunday, March 22 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and streaming next day on Crave), having decided on a new direction for her career and with a renewed commitment to Cal, Maggie Sullivan’s life at the Crossing is finally taking shape until Maggie’s ex-husband, Liam, arrives with a shocking revelation which only upends Maggie’s life once again and causes Cal to question whether Maggie will ever truly be able to leave her past behind. Shaken by Liam’s arrival, Maggie looks into getting him the paperwork he needs, while Cal finds himself wondering why Liam is really there. Meanwhile, Edna tries to convince an overprotective Frank that she’s ready to return to work as he focuses on figuring out how to turn the land Glenn gave them into a conservation area.
