About Mitch

I joined the 680 NewsRadio team fresh out of university in 2018, but mentally, I've been on the payroll since the fourth grade. Having the station on in the family car quickly developed into a lifelong passion for the kind of compelling storytelling 680 has mastered for decades. 680 listeners are some of the most loyal newsies around (I would know!), and the privilege of being able to share the stories that matter to the people of this wonderful city is never lost on me. Thanks for tuning in! Mitch co-anchors the evening news weeknights from 7:30 p.m. - 12:30 a.m.
