Mike Finnerty is in his seventh season as host of CBC Montreal's local weekday morning radio show Daybreak. He has more than two decades experience as a journalist and broadcaster, beginning at CBC Quebec City, then later in Montreal as a reporter. In London, he worked first at the BBC World Service where he was editor of daytime news programs, and then at guardian.co.uk where he was multimedia news editor.
Mike has hosted CBC Radio Montreal's election coverage since 2006. He also frequently hosts The Current. He was in New York immediately following the attacks on September the 11th, has covered elections in Russia and the debut of the new European currency from Maastricht. Mike has a wealth of international and national experience but his passion is reporting on Montreal and what happens in neighborhoods here everyday.
