The newscasts Pujadas presented were repeated in Canada on TV5 Monde weeknights at 18:30 North American Eastern Time⁣,[1] and in Australia on SBS at 08:40 on weekdays.

David Pujadas first went to the Lycée International de Ferney-Voltaire for high school before graduating from the University of Aix-Marseille and Sciences Po, then he entered Paris' Centre for Journalist Training (CFJ) in 1988.

Winner of a reporters' contest conducted by TF1, he became a foreign correspondent there, covering most notably the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu in Romania in 1989, the Gulf War in 1991, and the siege of Sarajevo in 1992.

But two days later, following a vote of no confidence by the channel's directors, he was sanctioned with two weeks of forced vacation, during which he was replaced by his stand-in, Carole Gaessler.

The French director of France Télévisions decided on May 17, 2017, to remove him from his anchorman position at the end of the season in order of a renewal in the second most watched newscast despite his good performances.
