A familiar face in homes across the country - Seamus O'Regan is no stranger to reporting stories. The co-host of CTV's national morning show, CANADA AM, for nine years, O'Regan interviewed prominent newsmakers and celebrities delivering Canadians the significant stories of the day.

In his new post as a Correspondent at CTV NATIONAL NEWS WITH LISA LAFLAMME, O'Regan is already putting his story telling skills to use on a new series "Canadian Originals" profiling everyday Canadians from all walks of life who are doing extraordinary things.

In addition to his role on CANADA AM, O'Regan has also reported for W5 and CTV NATIONAL NEWS, and hosted programs on Bravo! He recently travelled to Africa with K'naan to shed light on famine in Somalia, and reported from Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey for CTV's Royal Wedding coverage. He reported from the devastating floods in Manitoba, and from Newfoundland after it was slammed by Hurricane Igor last year.

In 2010, O'Regan co-hosted OLYMPIC MORNING from Whistler B.C. O'Regan has also reported from Kandahar, Afghanistan, and NORAD headquarters inside Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.

In 2007, O'Regan became the first journalist to be named to Canada's Top 40 Under 40. In 1999, he was named to Macleans magazine's "100 Young Canadians to Watch". He has been twice nominated for a Gemini Award - in 2004 for the Viewers' Choice Award and in 2005 for Best Host or Interviewer in a News Information Program or Series.

Originally from St. John's, Newfoundland, and raised in Goose Bay, Labrador, O'Regan studied politics at St. Francis Xavier University and University College, Dublin, and marketing strategies at INSEAD, the international business school near Paris. He received his Masters of Philosophy degree from the University of Cambridge, England.
