Lucas Cochran
- Producer
Lucas Cochran is the Tech Correspondent on
Daily Planet (1996) - Canada's
favorite science show. He joins co-hosts
Ziya Tong and
Dan Riskin daily for a segment called
"Digit@l", where audiences are looped into the latest technology
headlines and must-know virtual hotspots. Cochran appears again on
Thursdays for "Future Tech", a weekly segment where he tries out
cutting-edge gadgets in studio, and go behind the scenes to show how
these innovations will affect the future.
Born and raised in British Columbia, Canada, Cochran began his broadcast career as the host of "PIMP MY PC" on the Butterscotch Network, a weekly online show that focused on hardware modification and customization. Cochran's laid-back, coastal attitude - and tattoos, of course - have won him fans from his early days working in tech support through to his experience as a senior LAN administrator and now as a correspondent for Discovery Channel Canada.
In addition to his appearances on Daily Planet, Cochran has been featured on CTV News Channel and has provided commentary on CTV National News (1962), Canada's #1 newscast.
Cochran's love for technology spills over into his off-air hobby of mixing electronic music and the rare times he goes offline, he can be found exploring Toronto on his BMX.
