CBC News has tapped Canadian broadcast journalist Vassy Kapelos to host its flagship daily political program Power & Politics. Kapelos, who describes herself as "politics-obsessed," joins the public broadcaster from Global News, where she most recently served as Ottawa bureau chief and host of the network's program The West Block. Prior to working as a parliamentary correspondent in Ottawa, Kapelos covered provincial politics, including in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Kapelos will officially begin as host of Power & Politics in March. "Her experience and enthusiasm will be invaluable as we chart a renewed course for Power & Politics."
