Heather Hiscox Biography

Hiscox earned a bachelor's degree in French language, literature, and translation from the University of Toronto and a master's degree in journalism from the University of Western Ontario. She got an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Western Ontario in October 2011. She has been nominated for the Gemini Award for Best Host and Best News Anchor three times. Since 2006, Heather Hiscox has been the morning host at CBC News Network, answering the 2:30 a.m. alarm and providing viewers with all the information they need to start their day. What has happened around the globe in the last 24 hours? What are the stories that will have a big impact today? It's an exciting, dynamic show, and Hiscox is happy to be at the center of it, telling the key stories, speaking with the newsmakers, and, when the situation warrants, moving the show to the scene of the story. Hiscox did just that during the Dawson College shooting in Montreal, the iconic presidential campaign in the U. S. that elected Barack Obama, the state funeral of former Governor-General Romeo Leblanc, the lethal Cougar chopper crash in the Atlantic off St. John's, Nfld., the Royal Wedding of William and Kate, and Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Hiscox may use her previous broad and varied expertise as a network reporter to help her with topics like these. Hiscox was out in the field before she walked inside the morning studio. She worked as a reporter for CBC News: The National for three years in Toronto, and she also traveled internationally, covering international news. She has significant experience working out of the CBC's Washington and London offices, and was a member of the CBC's Olympic coverage team for six straight Olympic Games, in Athens, Turin, Beijing, Vancouver, London, and Sochi. Hiscox began her career in radio in 1982. Her first employment was as a disc jockey at a radio station in Owen Sound, Ontario, where she grew up. She began her career in radio throughout her time at university and for the first few years following graduation, before transitioning to television in 1991. In southern Ontario, Toronto, Halifax, and Montreal, she has worked as a reporter and anchor.
