Daybreak Montreal is a daily, early morning, English-language Canadian radio program, broadcast by CBME-FM, the CBC Radio One station in Montreal, Quebec.[1]

In 2006, Dave Bronstetter stepped down after hosting the program for 11 years;[2] he was replaced by Mike Finnerty.[3][4]

Finnerty, who was 41 in 2007, was born in Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. He first joined CBC Radio in Quebec City as a young reporter in 1989, moving to CBC Radio Montreal in 1992. [5] Finnerty worked in London for the BBC World Service for ten years, before becoming host of Daybreak.[5]

Nancy Wood was hired as host in 2009. Her dismissal in 2010 was the subject of some controversy in Montreal.[6][7] [8]
