Fred Hutton has left the airwaves for the political field.
Hutton, who returned to VOCM late last summer as co-host of the Morning Show, is taking up a communications position with Andrew Furey—one of two candidates for the Liberal leadership. John Abbott is the other.
Hutton says the decision to leave VOCM was not an easy one, and that he will miss the daily interaction.
“The decision to leave VOCM News was not easy. I have so much respect for the dedicated team of journalists who work there. I’ll miss that daily interaction.
I’ve spent a little over 30 years covering the issues in Newfoundland and Labrador. We are now facing some of the most difficult challenges.
When Dr. Furey asked me to join the team, I realized it’s a good way to help give back to a province that has given so much to my family.”
