Mark Connolly first worked for the CBC as a janitor in his teens. He would end up clocking a mind-boggling 37 years in the broadcast booth, both at home (as host of Edmonton AM) and across the globe as a sportscaster, covering the Olympics since 1996. His talents are likewise all over the map: As a host, a newscaster, an emcee, and a moderator for the Truth & Reconciliation Commission, Mark has never met a microphone he didn’t like (or that didn’t like him back).
This week, Mark becomes an emcee and host for hire, broadening his availability to his admirers as well as his wife and sons. His calling card will now bear his own personal brand, a logo developed by Curio Studio that puts his monogrammed stamp on a ribbon microphone, much in the same as he’s left his mark on Edmonton and on broadcast history.
Hats off to Mark for everything he’s done to make this city a funnier, more exciting, more wonderful place to be!
