CBC News has tapped veteran broadcast journalist David Cochrane to host its flagship daily political program Power & Politics. He replaces Vassy Kapelos, who left for CTV's PowerPlay. Since joining CBC's parliamentary bureau as a national senior reporter in 2016, Cochrane has reported from 11 countries across four continents and played a lead role in CBC's 2019 and 2021 federal election coverage. He also reported extensively on the federal government's response to COVID-19 and the protests that occupied downtown Ottawa in the winter of 2022.Before his Ottawa posting, Cochrane spent nearly two decades covering politics in his home province of Newfoundland and Labrador. He was awarded a Canadian Screen Award for television reporting and three awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association of Canada (RTDNA) for best radio feature, digital analysis and hosting.
