Allan Myers, the former senior director of CTV National News, died in his apartment. His family learned of Allan’s passing on Wednesday, and his close friend Lis Travers later confirmed it.
Myers lived in the United States before working at CTV in 2014. He had previously worked there as a tape editor in the 1980s and had also worked in television.
His directorial work for National Geographic included the “Inside Base Camp” series about globetrotters and “China’s Lost Girls,” a 2004 documentary starring Lisa Ling that examined China’s harsh ranching laws.
Myers has invested a phenomenal amount of his creative energy in many different areas of television production for CTV National News over the past five years, according to Travers.
