ANGELA KOKOTT

Weekdays, Angela teams up with Bruce McAllister to anchor the Global Calgary Morning News from 5:30-9:00a.m.

She was born in Eastend, Saskatchewan and grew up in Swift Current. Angela attended the Television, Stage and Radio Arts Program at S.A.I.T.

Her first job was at CHUB Radio in Nanaimo, British Columbia. After a couple of years on Vancouver Island, Angela returned to Calgary to work at QR77 radio. During her thirty years in broadcasting she has worked in radio and television. In 1992 she came to Global television and has enjoyed a wide variety of opportunities. For the past three years she has co-hosted the Global Morning News along with Bruce McAllister.

Angela admits that her favorite time of the day is definitely not 2:30 am when she wakes up, but rather 4:00 pm when her two children are home and she can share time with them.

Favorite movies: "Waiting for Guffman” … I love Christopher Guest’s sense of humour.

Favorite TV shows: "The Office” “Survivor”

Favorite books: I love Canadian writers especially focusing on the east coast "Colony of Unrequited Dreams" by Wayne Johnston ... Navigator of New York.

Favorite person: My mom, who passed away in 1993 … she remains a huge influence in my life. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of her and her values.

Favorite charity: Alzheimer Society, Canadian Cancer Society
