Lynda Steele is CTV B.C.’s new consumer reporter

Veteran broadcast journalist Lynda Steele is the new face of CTV British Columbia’s consumer segment, On Your Side — now redubbed Steele On Your Side.

“With Lynda at the helm, we will expand the advocacy role of On Your Side
and aggressively challenge those who would cheat or take advantage of
the honest consumer,” said Margo Harper, News Director, CTV British
Columbia in a release.

Steele is moving to CTV from Edmonton, where she has anchored Global’s
evening newscasts since 1995. The award-winning journalist (honours
include Canadian Professional Television Association’s Gold Award for
best feature reporting in Canada and Alberta Motion Picture Industries
Association’s Best Journalist) has worked in newsrooms across Western
Canada.

“I am very excited to be joining the talented and dynamic CTV BC news
team,” Steele said in the release. “In my opinion, it’s one of the
strongest local newscasts in the country, and I am thrilled to have the
opportunity to serve as consumer champion and advocate for B.C.
viewers.”
