It is a great pleasure to send out birthday greetings from Art’s History to one of Canada’s most significant broadcast journalists, Wendy Mesley. Born in Montreal, she started her career with CTV in 1979. Mesley soon moved over to CBC. She rose through the ranks at the public broadcaster to host some of the CBC’s flagship news and current affairs shows. She was also the regular Sunday anchor for The National. Mesley parted ways with the CBC in 2021 and is now enjoying great success as co-host (with Maureen Holloway) of the podcast, Women of Ill Repute. You can listen to episodes of the new show at https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-women-of-ill-repute/id1630676325
Happy birthday from Kingston and Art’s History Ms. Mesley!
