Antony Robart has worked as a reporter for Global News since February 2004. But before that he certainly made the rounds. Born in Halifax and raised in Regina, he graduated from McGill University in Montreal then American University in Washington, DC. And it was there in the U.S. Capital where Antony got his first crack at TV journalism working at ABC News.
From working for Sam Donaldson to Toronto, Antony made the jump to CBC News where he trudged up the ladder first as an Editorial Assistant, to researcher, to writer, to eventually reporter/videojournalist.
But not being able to stay in one place for too long, he dropped it all for Paris working for CNBC Europe and Radio France International.
However, after nearly two years and missing his home and native land too much to stay — he decided to emigrate back to Toronto (a euphemism to say his ‘visa expired’).
But it was meant to be as he started with the Global team right away covering major stories from the front lines in the process.
Highlights include the release of Karla Homolka near Montreal, the hurricane aftermath in Grenada, the bombings in London, England, re-tracing Terry Fox’s heroic journey through Ontario, and reporting the Jim Loney hostage crisis from his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie.
When Antony’s not in front of the camera he likes unwinding on the ski hill and long-distance running. And when he can’t do sports he watches them on TV.
