Global News has named Kevin Gallagher as the network’s new weekend news anchor, seen from the Maritimes to Saskatchewan, beginning Saturday, May 30.

In addition to anchoring, Gallagher will appear on Global Toronto’s late newscast every Friday and report one day a week for Global News at 5 and 6.

Gallagher was formerly with CTV News for almost 13 years – as a reporter at CTV Montreal and more recently as a Parliamentary Correspondent in Ottawa.

After getting caught up in layoffs at Bell Media in early 2024, he’s been working as a video content creator at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario since last fall.

Gallagher succeeds Mark Carcasole, who left Global in October to join CBC News Network as a Breaking News Host. Carcasole had held the national anchor role since September 2018 and with Global for 12 years.
