Weekdays 5:30 to 8:30 a.m.
Mark Loshack, better known as “Shack,” has been a familiar voice on 650 CKOM for three decades. When you tune in, you’re not just getting the top local news and weather — you’re getting it from a broadcast legend who’s got his finger on the pulse of Saskatoon and the province. Joined by his co-hosts Gerald Bauman, Erin McNutt, and Kevin Martel, Shack’s mornings are packed with news, sports, and stories from the 650 CKOM News Team.
A True Community Guy
If there’s one thing Shack loves, it’s giving back. He’s a founding member of the Care & Share Saskatoon board, which raises funds for inner-city school kids. You’ll also find him emceeing events, hosting fundraisers, or interviewing Saskatoon’s movers and shakers. His heart for the community and deep ties to local business leaders make him more than just a radio host—he’s a Saskatoon staple.
Meet the Shack Fam
When Shack’s not on the air, he’s holding it down at home with his wife Mona and daughter Emily. Shack’s role as a husband and dad is just as important as his on-air presence, and family life keeps him grounded in between all the radio action.
Cooking King of the Grill
Did you know Shack has his very own cooking show? Yep, it’s called COOKED WITH SHACK!, and it’s exactly what you’d expect — Shack whipping up manly, meat-filled meals with plenty of personality. It’s his way of sharing his love for good food and proving that DIY kitchen skills can be a ton of fun.
Whether it’s interviewing a business leader, spotlighting a local event, or chatting with an inspiring guest, Shack is all about bringing Saskatchewan’s stories to life. He’s always got his ear to the ground, making sure listeners are plugged into the latest news, happenings, and the people who make the province tick. If there’s a story to be told, Shack’s got it covered.
