Alex AuBuchon

Alex AuBuchon is APR’s Morning Edition host and also writes news and feature stories. He got his start in nonprofit radio at the University of Tennessee’s venerable WUTK-FM.

AuBuchon started as a student DJ before quickly falling in with the news team. He spent a semester on the news staff and then a year as News Director, delivering live newscasts and teaching broadcast workshops to undergraduate journalism students.

After finishing up at UT:K,  AuBuchon switched over to commercial radio, taking a job as Operations Manager and Assistant News Director of a group of four radio stations in his hometown of Paris, Tennessee. He scheduled traffic and automation breaks and did administrative work for four stations during the week, and delivered newscasts and maintained a popular news website on the weekends.

Alex switched back over to public radio in January 2015, moving to Alabama to wake up early and give listeners the news they need to get ready for the day.
