As we at @CTVNationalNews practice physical distancing, quick shout out the few colleagues who still come into the newsroom to work with me and @LisaLaFlammeCTV to put the newscast together each night. We’re careful to say 6ft apart, but I want to give them each a virtual hug. 1/

Senior Producer @AP_black has been with CTV News for 35+ years. 18 of those years at @CTVNationalNews. Give him a follow.

The creative genius who writes and produces the ‘teasers’ and promos each night is @gracep27. Each night, she comes up with lines that I wish I had written. Give her a follow.

Evening Assignment Editor @oralbuchanan somehow always manages to find the one little nugget that completes the newscast, whether it’s great footage or a story from our CTV News affiliates. Give him a follow.

I like to call @johanna_james our news prodigy. We recruited her over from our friends at CTV News Channel during #elxn43 and now she’s working on the team that tracks the #COVID19 story in Canada and around the world. Multi-talented, scary smart. Give her a follow.

On National Assignment is @MarkKhouzam and @KDamman. It’s Royal Family rules with those two — they’re each so crucial to the operation that we keep them apart. When one comes in, the other works from home. Give them both a follow.

Those daily LIVE specials we’ve been doing? Would not be possible without the steady @pcamp_ctv, my control room producing partner, who’s also the Senior Producer responsible for the day-to-day at CTV News Channel. Give him a follow.

On the weekends @thatCandyChan holds down the fort on the Assignment Desk. She has a worldview that’s unique and adds so much to the editorial conversations. Give her a follow.

Days are all blending together, but I think it was 6 weeks ago that I asked @PhilipHahn to take on the mammoth task of running our #Coronavirus Desk. With the volume of information and the numbers constantly changing, he has managed to keep us all on track. Give him a follow.

*Stay 6ft apart. Although we also *say* it too.
