Todd van der Heyden, currently the co-host of CTV Montreal's noon and 6 p.m. newscasts, is the latest addition to the growing team of journalists at CTV News Channel.
Van der Heyden will be joining the network full time as co-anchor with Amanda Blitz, hosting Express, weekdays from 1 to 4 p.m., CTV announced on Friday.
His last newscast in Montreal will take place on Dec. 30. He will begin his new role at News Channel on Jan. 16.
A respected journalist with a wide range of experience, van der Heyden has been reporting and anchoring at CTV Montreal for more than a decade -- the last three as co-anchor of CTV News at Six with Mutsumi Takahashi.
"Montreal has always been my home and I'm so grateful for the opportunities and support the people here have given me," van der Heyden said in a statement.
"There are a lot of things I still want to do with my career and the move to Toronto and CTV News Channel to anchor a national show is an exciting change. I'm really looking forward to it."
