Emily Hart

Emily spent eight years covering city hall for the local paper — budgets, bus routes, school boards — before deciding the news sounded better read aloud. She joined Copperline in 2017 and rebuilt the breakfast show around a simple promise: everything you need, nothing you don’t, finished by nine.

Her “City Hall in Five” slot is appointment listening for councillors and campaigners alike; being explained clearly on Emily’s show is widely considered the fairest hearing in local politics. The Friday gadget verdict — one device, one week, one honest grade — has saved listeners collectively thousands, including the infamous toaster that scored two out of ten.

She fixes her own receivers, curates the receiver-room collection and has never once been late for a bulletin. The studio clock is set by her arrival, or so the engineers claim.
