After 40 years in broadcasting, veteran sports and weather anchor Jeff Hutcheson announced that he will bring his 18 years at Canada AM to a close, signing off one last time early this summer.
Waking up with viewers for nearly two decades, Hutcheson has broadcasted from nearly 400 locations across Canada and around the world – and he’s hitting the road for one last remote broadcast tour before his final turn at Canada AM.
“I feel truly honored to have had this incredible journey and to be welcomed into viewers homes every day across my four decades of broadcasting,” said Jeff Hutcheson in a press release. “Canada AM has given me the experience of a lifetime, working on a team that sets the bar of professionalism and journalism in this industry. Having the opportunity to work and travel around the world has been extraordinary, and I am thrilled that I will have the chance to leave the viewers with one last remote tour, doing what I love the most – showing Canada to Canadians.”
“We are so thankful for Jeff’s enormous contribution to Canada AM and we will miss him greatly,” said Nanci MacLean, Vice-President at Bell Media Production. “His curiosity, honesty, and joyful spirit lights up the set every morning, as well as the homes of viewers across the country who welcome him with open arms. He reminds Canadians there’s a wonderful and fascinating country outside our doorstep and for that we will always be grateful. Jeff’s warmth and kindness touched the entire nation and leaves an indelible mark on the show.”
Hutcheson will embark on one last remote tour of Canada beginning Wednesday, May 11th, showcasing hotspots, talking to locals, and delivering his regular weather updates live on location. He begins the tour in Niagara-on-the-Lake before heading eastward to continue his journey and series of live broadcasts from Quidi Vidi, NL, a beach in his home province of Prince Edward Island, and from Lunenburg, NS.
