Morning show editor | 680 NewsRadio Toronto

About Samantha

I have been a part of the 680 NewsRadio Toronto family since 2015. I started out as an intern and was later hired as an audio editor for the station. In July of 2015 I was trained as an editor and never looked back. I worked various weekend, evening and day-time shifts before being given an opportunity to join the morning show team. My alarm goes off at 1:20 every morning, but it is so worth it! I have also added Senior Editor to my title, taking on a management role at 680 NewsRadio. If you are going to school for journalism or broadcasting, I highly recommend completing an internship if you have the chance. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without it. Thank you for listening and making 680 NewsRadio a part of your daily routine!
