Barbara Budd, longtime co-host of As it Happens, is calling it quits. She announced her departure on air Monday night at the conclusion of the program, giving no reason for her decision or any indication of her future plans. A former stage actress who also works as a documentary narrator and voice-animator for movies and television, Budd took over Alan Maitland’s slot in 1993, sharing on-air duties with Michael Enright until his departure in 1997, then with Mary Lou Finlay till 2005. Finlay was replaced by Carol Off in early 2006.
