Gemini-nominated journalist Krista Erickson, and columnist Ezra Levant are the latest additions to the growing SUN TV NEWS team. Pierre Karl Peladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor Inc., Quebecor Media Inc. and Sun Media Corporation made the announcement today speaking to the Economic Club of Canada in Calgary. Krista Erickson joins the hard news team as a reporter and daytime news anchor. Ezra Levant will bring his outspoken nature to prime time as a straight talk host.

"I am very pleased to have Krista and Ezra join the hard news, straight talk SUN TV NEWS team," said Mr. Peladeau. "Both of them have the experience and personality we are looking for to deliver a new and exciting product for Canadians."

"With her extensive track record in the hard news business, Krista will add depth and perspective to the breaking stories of the day," added Mr. Peladeau. "Ezra isn't afraid to challenge conventional wisdom. Whether it's his national crusade for freedom of speech, or his refreshing and contrarian take on the oilsands. Fans and foes alike won't want to miss a minute of his show."

"Along with SUN TV NEWS host Charles Adler, Krista and Ezra all hail from Western Canada. With SUN TV NEWS the west will be in," concluded Peladeau.
