Host
Anna Maria Tremonti joined
The Current after two years as a correspondent and host
on CBC TV's flagship investigative program "the fifth
estate". She has spent much of her career roaming the
country and the world for the CBC. Between 1991 and
2000 Anna Maria filed regular news and documentary reports
for CBC Television from a rotating cast of international
home bases: Berlin, London, Jerusalem, and Washington.
She has covered conflict and crisis in more than 30
countries, providing the CBC with eyewitness accounts
of the war in Bosnia, the Arab-Israeli conflict and
the break-up of the Soviet Union.
A native of Windsor, Ontario, Anna Maria’s career began
in radio. She joined CBC as host of the morning radio
program in Fredericton, New Brunswick, then moved to
Edmonton to work as a legislative reporter. She followed
this with a four year stint in the nation’s capital,
pursuing political high-jinx on Parliament Hill.
For her work as a journalist Anna Maria has won two
Gemini awards, and an outstanding achievement award
from Toronto Women in Film and Television. She also
received an honourary doctorate from the University
of Windsor, the very school where she completed her
undergrad. She has behind her a string of partially
learned languages—French, German and Arabic—which she
uses to great and mysterious effect while lounging on
the decks of international ocean liners.
The Current marks a happy return to her radio roots.
Anna Maria Tremonti profoundly hopes not to have to
book a moving van any time soon.
