ADAMS, Mass. — Evan Pinsonnault, a native of Adams and 2001 graduate of Hoosac Valley High School, has been named 6 News morning and noon co-anchor for CBS affiliate WLNS-TV in Lansing, Mich.
He previously worked as an anchor, reporter and sports commentator for WMAZ-TV in Macon, Ga., and co-hosted the public affairs program Connect on WSPX in Syracuse, N.Y.
Pinsonnault's work in upstate New York and central Georgia earned him awards and recognition from The Associated Press, Georgia Association of Broadcasters, Society of Professional Journalists and the Southeast Regional Emmys. Most recently, his coverage of a series of tornadoes that swept through the Macon area in 2008 won an Edward R. Murrow Award.
Pinsonnault earned a bachelor's degree in political science with a minor in theater from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and a master's degree in broadcasting and communications from the S.I. Newhouse School at Syracuse University.
While in Georgia, Pinsonnault starred in 12 productions at Theatre Macon, portraying a variety of characters that included The Wolf from "Into the Woods," Buddy Fidler from "City of Angels" and Ben the Gardener from "The Secret Garden." He has been cast as The Baker in the Riverwalk Theatre production of "Into the Woods" that opens in September in Lansing.
Pinsonnault is the son of Jan Charbonneau of Pittsfield and Bernie Pinsonnault and Dianne Cutillo of Adams.
