Brian Hatchell

After having been away from broadcasting for a number of years, Brian Hatchell finds himself once again working in his first love, radio.

Brian started out on the airwaves in the early 90’s working as a news reporter and anchor in Tillsonburg, Owen Sound and Orangeville. It didn’t take long before the television bug hit, and Brian moved out to Manitoba to start his career on the small screen. After stints in Dauphin, Manitoba, Sault Ste. Marie and Windsor, Ontario, Brian was lured to the ‘Big Smoke’ and a job at Global Television.

After reporting on the international humanitarian response for Hurricane Mitch in Honduras, Brian was invited to leave the world of corporate broadcasting and travel the globe as a videographer for World Vision Canada. The opportunity was one he couldn’t turn down.

After numerous trips to Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Central and South America, Brian packed up his family and moved to Sri Lanka to take part in post-tsunami reconstruction initiatives with the Red Cross. In the fall of 2006, Brian returned to Canada with his wife Kasia and their son Krystian. Brian and his wife has just recently given birth to their second son, Ethan Alexander.

He brings a wealth of journalistic and international experience to his position as weekend news anchor at Classical 96.3 FM.
