Stephen Quinn is host of CBC Radio One's popular morning show The Early Edition, a post he has often been quoted as saying is his "dream job." Every week day, listeners wake up and tune-in for their daily dose of breaking news, traffic, local stories, entertainment, and interviews.

Previously, Quinn was the long time host of afternoon radio show On The Coast, where he was known for featuring people from the community and covering the day's local news. He also connected with listeners on social media during shows, allowing citizens to participate in conversations in real-time, adding another dimension to live radio. He spent eight-years as CBC's civic affairs reporter. This position spearheaded his passion for municipal politics, as well as his unwavering interview style and skill in prompting answers from notable subjects while delving into important issues.

Quinn has guest-hosted several CBC shows, news specials and a series on the media for network radio. He is also the creator and host of the very popular Quinn's Quiz on CBC Radio One.

Amy Bell is the traffic and weather presenter for The Early Edition. Born and raised on the West Coast, Amy knows her way around the roads of the Lower Mainland — and the importance of a good umbrella. Amy graduated from BCIT in 2000, and was the winner of the BCAB award for broadcasting student of the year. She's been reporting traffic and weather ever since.

When she's not helping you through your morning commute, Amy can be found drinking massive amounts of coffee while chasing after her two small kids.
