Paul Karchut is the host of Daybreak Alberta, the provinces weekend morning show on CBC Radio One. 

A self-confessed radio nerd Paul Karchut grew up on Vancouver Island, where CBC Radio was a mainstay in his family home. 

Before taking over the reins on Daybreak Alberta, Paul was the director of the Calgary Eyeopener, having spent time as the associate producer and technician on the show. He brings his love of skiing and the outdoors to the airwaves with his weekly Real Ski Report and summer Outdoor Reports.

During his time at CBC Calgary, Paul has worked on many side projects including his role as CBC Radio's national car columnist with his weekly feature Karchut on Cars, six years of teaching broadcasting students at Mount Royal University, a stint with CBC Calgary's Filipino Bureau, and producing the Calgary Eyeopener's award-winning and groundbreaking "walking show" broadcasts. Pauls first position was as a sound engineering assistant with CBC Vancouver, and he also spent time interning at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and the CBC Victoria bureau.

Paul completed the radio broadcasting program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

When not at work, you'll still find Paul in the mountains, enjoying nature and time with his family.
