Andrew Chang

Award-winning journalist Andrew Chang hosts ABOUT THAT, CBC News' daily explainer that expands our understanding of the stories everyone's talking about, available on CBC News Explore and CBC Gem. Prior to that, Chang hosted The National alongside Adrienne Arsenault in Toronto. He has also spent time in the host chair for local and national shows including CBC Vancouver News at 6, The Current and CBC News Now.

Prior to his move to Vancouver, Chang spent a successful decade with CBC Montreal most recently as co-host of CBC Montreal's supper-time newscast. He covered a number of memorable moments in Montreal's history such as Montreal's 2011 federal election night special, which saw the unprecedented rise of the NDP in the province, and the resulting collapse of the Bloc Qubcois; the 2012 election-night assassination attempt of Pauline Marois and he was also the first, among local English television networks, to tell Montrealers about the assassination of mafia godfather Niccolo Rizzuto Senior.

He worked previously as one of CBC's chief staff reporters, covering breaking news at both the local and network level: from the Dawson College shootings, to the collapse of the de la Concorde overpass in Laval, to a month-long stint on the Parti Qubcois campaign bus during the 2008 provincial election. During this time, Andrew was also working as a video journalist -- interviewing various news-makers, writing and reporting, shooting and editing video. With a camera over his shoulder, Andrew spent years producing both news-length and feature-length reports. In 2014, 2016, 2020 & 2022, Chang was a member of CBC's broadcast team for the Olympic Games.

On weekends, it's a different story -- when he is not being the doting father to his daughters, he spends his time snowboarding, hiking, and indulging in one of his many other passions: music. Follow Chang on Twitter and Instagram @AndrewChangCBC
