CHAT TV News Anchor Dan Reynish was born in a little place called Fredericton, New Brunswick but found himself living in many places – Gimli, Trenton, Germany (yes, that Germany), PEI, Nova Scotia, Toronto, Regina – before joining us here in Medicine Hat. His mother is from Newfoundland as well so, as he likes to say, the only 2 provinces he has no major connections to is BC and Quebec. (He has spent time in both, however).

Dan started playing music, and even announcing, at the age of 10 at the Canadian Youth Centre in Lahr, Germany. Within a year, he was deejaying music for the teens on Friday and Saturday nights. All this early experience lead to a job with the Armed Forces Radio network in the music library before his family moved back to Canada. Returning to Canada landed Dan with a job at CJME in Summerside, PEI and he hasn’t looked back since.

Dan had lived in Regina for 16 years but, prior to joining us in Medicine Hat, spent the last 3 years in Toronto enjoying time with family and friends and taking in all the culture the major city had to offer.

He has seen it all, done it all and has enjoyed every single moment of it. Music, sports, art…whatever the topic Dan will happily engage in a lively conversation with anyone who’s interested.
