The TVA network has chosen continuity to replace Pierre Bruneau. The current head of the TVA News 10 p.m.Sophie Thibault, will be the new presenter of the suppertime bulletin starting in the fall.
The first woman to be named news anchor in 2002, Sophie Thibault changed time slots to become the new face of the 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscasts, the most listened to in Quebec. It will air Monday through Thursday. Journalist Julie Marcoux will be at the helm on Fridays.
Pierre-Olivier Zappa, who hosted an economic program on LCN, was appointed anchor of the TVA News 10 p.m. to succeed Sophie Thibault. Journalist and author Michel Jean is confirmed as presenter of the lunchtime newscast.
Remember that Pierre Bruneau will host his last career television news on June 16 after a 46-year career. It will return to the airwaves in the fall for the major election events, in particular for the face-to-face and for the evening of the results.
