WWL 870 AM / 105.3 FM  New Orleans announced Tuesday, July 28, 2015 the passing of long-time radio and TV personality Andre Trevigne.

Trevigne anchored newscasts on WWL, WDSU and WGNO television stations and hosted a radio show on WWL Radio from 1995 to 2004.

WWL Radio Program Director and Operations Manager Diane Newman said, "Andre Trevigne joined our WWL radio family in 1995.  She made an impressive transition from TV to radio talk host and played a significant role in our success, until she left us in 2004. Andre was an amazing talent, smart, boldly honest and she connected deeply with our listeners. There was a hole when she left. I'm sure people across the Greater New Orleans and the Gulf South will grieve her loss as do we. God bless Andre and her family."

"Andre was the most cantankerous, smartest, most wonderful person I have ever worked with," said WWL-TV morning news anchor Eric Paulsen. "We had this love-hate relationship on-air, but off-air, we had become the closest of friends."

Trevigne had been in hospice after a long-term illness.
