Lang, who joined CBC in 2009 and is host of The Exchange, will leave the public broadcaster on Friday.

I want to let you know Amanda Lang, senior business correspondent and host of The Exchange with Amanda Lang, is leaving CBC News for a new opportunity outside the CBC in television.  Lang will also devote more time to her writing. Her second book on innovation and creativity will be published next fall.
 
Lang joined CBC in 2009, as one half of the Lang & O’Leary Exchange, and as part of the team bringing business news to The National.
 
Amanda’s two decades of experience as a business reporter furthered our commitment to quality business coverage.
 
I would also like to recognize The Exchange team for their great work and dedication.  We have one of the finest groups of business journalists in the country within this unit.  Our commitment to business coverage remains strong.
 
We will begin the search for a new host right away. Amanda’s last day on The Exchange will be this Friday. Veteran business journalist Bruce Sellery will host the show for the next two weeks.
 
Please join us in wishing Amanda well.
