Tim Bruch | CTV News

Tim Bruch joined CTV Calgary in the fall of 2019. Before joining the team in Cowtown, he reported in Edmonton, Winnipeg and Kelowna, meaning he's seen all sides of the weather spectrum.

Timm was born in Calgary and also spent time on the West Coast: he attended BCIT's Broadcast Journalism program in Burnaby, graduating with honors, and spent his early twenties in Vancouver.

His first daytime TV job was in the Okanagan, where he reported on organic vineyards, flooded beaches and a hapless neighborhood cat shot by a stray bullet.

From there, it's off to Winnipeg, where it's packed with winter gear, where it's covered weird stories (the beginner pilot course behind which Timm is actually piloting a small plane), hard news (a police standoff, court reports), and downright terrifying segments (down the side of a downtown building streaming live TV). Eventually, Timm found his niche in politics. He loves to cover elections, budgets and even a scandal or two.

Tim joined the CTV News team in 2018. He spent his first year with the company in Edmonton, much of it in the legislature turning his microphone to provincial politicians. Since leaving YEG, Timm's highlights include leading the 2019 election and an intense fire season that sent him on an extended trip to Northern Alberta.

In 2019, he returned to Calgary. He couldn't be happier telling stories about his hometown.

In his free time, you can find Tim on the trails, watching his favorite Blue Jays, or listening to a record from his overflowing collection.
