Straight to Inside CBC for the news:

 Montreal media lawyer Hubert Lacroix will replace Robert Rabinovitch as president and chief executive officer of CBC/Radio-Canada.

Lacroix does have a bit of broadcast experience, having worked for Radio-Canada as a commentator for basketball during the Olympic Games in 1984, 1988 and 1996. He was also a contributor to the Saturday evening sports show Hebdo-Sports on Radio-Canada, where he reported mainly on amateur sports.
