Quebec celebrity Mitsou Gélinas has been signed to host Au Courant, a new English-language program on CBC Newsworld which will look at what’s making news in French Canada. Gélinas, best known in English Canada as a sex kitten singer for her hit single and video Bye Bye Mon Cowboy, has since been an actor, magazine editor, TV host and radio personality.
Au Courant plans to present viewers with people, stories and perspectives they won’t find elsewhere on English television. The show will air Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. beginning Feb. 5, repeating Sundays at noon.
