Canadian journalist and news presenter Jean-Luc Mongrain died of cancer on October 12, 2026, aged 75.
Born July 16, 1951, he studied at Collège Notre-Dame and the University of Sherbrooke, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in theology in 1975. Mongrain began his journalism career in 1974, hosting public-affairs programs on radio and working as a journalist at a local station in Sherbrooke.
He moved into television in 1986, extending his work from radio broadcasting to television journalism and hosting. On LCN, part of the TVA network, he anchored his own program, Mongrain, until 2012. The show carried his surname as its title and established his role as a television news anchor. His career included both public-affairs broadcasting and the presentation of television news, across radio and television. Before entering journalism, Mongrain had an early business venture: at nine, he owned a small snack shop near a construction site. His studies in theology preceded his start in broadcasting, while his later work encompassed radio journalism, television hosting and news presentation. The progression of his career took him from local radio in Sherbrooke to a television anchoring role on LCN, where he remained at the helm of his program through 2012.
