CHCH News legend Annette Hamm departs from Morning Live after decades on-air

CHCH News legend Annette Hamm has signed off for her last time on Morning Live.

It brings a long, illustrious career to a close, but she’s not fully done just yet. That career began with CHCH News back in 1986. She worked as a writer, a crime reporter, a weekend news anchor and eventually she moved to the morning show desk.

“There’s been lots of exciting things that I have done, and I’m really gonna miss the adrenaline,” said Hamm. “I thought my crime reporter days were my very favourite days, but I also really love the show here.”

For years, people woke up to Hamm’s voice in the morning, through all the ups and downs, good times and silly times.

Hamm is a Hamiltonian through and through: she attended Mohawk College and in 2016 she was given an Alumni of Distinction award — success she credits to her colleagues and her viewers.
