Tom Hedderson, Fairity O’Brien and other lame local politicians will likely be re-thinking their political futures soon.
CBC announced Friday that Anthony Germain will be hosting the CBC’s flagship morning show in Newfoundland and Labrador later this summer. He will replace Jeff Gilhooley, who is retiring in July.
His reporting career spans two decades from local radio in New Brunswick to CBC Radio's parliamentary bureau in Ottawa. In the nation's capital, Germain won investigative awards from the Canadian Association of Journalists for investigative reporting on both radio and television.
Germain has hosted CBC Radio's flagship political show The House as well as the local Ottawa morning show. He has been a guest host on The Current, As It Happens, and The Sunday Edition.
Germain is currently the CBC’s China correspondent.
Germain will be the latest in a series of heavy-hitter hosts on the corporation’s major morning broadcast in the province. The CBC has three other morning shows serving regions of the province but the St. John’s show has the largest audience and has been growing in popularity with the local audience.
