Amanda Lang leaving CBC

The National Post reports that Amanda Lang, the CBC’s senior business correspondent, is quitting the public broadcaster this week, according to a Tuesday announcement.
Lang is pursuing “a new opportunity outside the CBC in television,” Jennifer McGuire, CBC News general manger and editor-in-chief, said in a memo to staff. She did not specify where Lang is headed.
“Lang will also devote more time to her writing. Her second book on innovation and creativity will be published next fall,” McGuire said.
Lang will host her CBC show, the Exchange, for the last time on Friday, McGuire said.

She started at the CBC in 2009, hosting the Lang & O’Leary Exchange with Kevin O’Leary — who left the show last year.
