flag David Common to host CBC Morning Live starting Feb. 2, 2026, succeeding Heather Hiscox.

flag David Common, current host of CBC Toronto’s Metro Morning, has been named the new host of CBC News Network’s CBC Morning Live, succeeding retiring anchor Heather Hiscox, whose final broadcast aired on Nov. 6, 2025. flag Common will take over the 6 a.m. flag ET weekday show on Feb. 2, 2026, after his final day on Metro Morning on Jan. 16. flag He aims to make the program more locally rooted, inclusive, and engaging by expanding on-the-ground reporting, connecting with underserved rural and Western communities, and balancing serious news with uplifting content. flag His approach reflects CBC’s five-year strategy to strengthen coverage in 15–20 communities over 50,000 people, reach youth and newcomers, and reconnect with disengaged audiences. flag Guest hosts will fill in until his debut, and a search for a new Metro Morning host will begin soon.
