CBC Windsor News at 6 Announces Chris Ensing as New Host

CBC Windsor is pleased to name Chris Ensing as the new host of CBC Windsor News at 6, its evening television news broadcasting live from 6-630 pm weeknights.

Born and raised in London, Ontario, Ensing first started with CBC in 2011. Throughout his extensive career, he has covered local and national stories in Toronto, Gander and Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador, London, Ontario and most recently, Windsor.

“As a video-journalist at CBC Windsor, Chris has focused on telling stories that are unique to the people and communities within Windsor-Essex County, while also seeking out the voices of those who make up the multicultural and Indigenous fabric of the region,” said Marissa Nelson, CBC Senior Managing Director, Ontario Regions. “He is a seasoned multi-platform journalist and a market leader in his innovative approach to storytelling, from his video skills to CBC streaming platforms and social media. Chris will continue to lead our coverage on providing context to the breaking news, and bring our viewers stories that they will only hear on CBC.”

When not digging up stories and chasing down leads, Ensing can be found planning road trips to new and quirky destinations — no town is too small or too ‘local’ to escape
his interest. A natural born communicator at heart, he genuinely enjoys helping people tell their story.

“This is a great opportunity to be creative with a team of award winning journalists who love sharing moments across Windsor-Essex… especially during a live broadcast where anything can happen!” said Ensing.

“We’re excited to have someone who has developed deep ties to the Windsor-area at the helm of our evening broadcast,” said Bob Becken, executive producer, CBC Windsor. “Chris is an adept storyteller, who will help us strengthen community connections, expand our audience, and drive coverage reflecting the diversity of Ontario’s southernmost city. You’ll be seeing Chris at community events across our region — including the September 21 Farmers’ Market in downtown Windsor.”
