Popular Canadian broadcaster Jeff Hutcheson joins the crew this week to reflect on his long career as an Ontario TV and radio sportscaster and co-host on CTV's Canada AM.

While still in college, Hutcheson was hired in 1977 as a full-time sportscaster on Kitchener's CKCO-TV. His 20 years at the CTV affiliate also included stints as a host on award-winning shows like Blue Jays Banter and Bowling for Dollars.

In 1992, the Preston, Ontario native began to occasionally appear as a co-host on Canada AM, the country's long-running nationally televised morning show on the CTV Network. That led to a full-time position in 1998, a spot Hutcheson held until his retirement in 2016.

His many years in media featured countless hours and kilometres of travel across North America, interviewing many big-name athletes and coaches.
