Craig "Hutchy" Hutchison (born 4 December 1974 in Warragul, Victoria) is a Melbourne-based journalist, sports broadcaster and business owner. Hutchison has covered football commentary and breaking news stories. In 2017, he will host The Footy Show
He commenced his career in 1994 as a cadet with the Herald Sun and two years later moved to Sport 927 in Melbourne. There, he was producer of the Kevin Bartlett and Dr Turf Big Sports Breakfast Show for approximately 1 year. Hutchison then went on to join Channel Ten as a journalist and broke sport stories including Neil Balme's sacking at the Melbourne Football Club as Senior Coach, Alastair Lynch's drug hearing with the AFL, and the subsequent resignation of the Brisbane chairman following the story.
In 1999 he joined the Seven Network and was promoted to chief football reporter, appearing on the nationally broadcast Sportsworld every Sunday. He was also 'fill-in' sports anchor for Seven News.
In 2004 he was at the centre of controversy when he wrongfully said St Kilda player Justin Koschitzke was being interviewed by police in relation to sexual misconduct allegations. Hutchison said Koschitzke and teammate Stephen Milne were involved, when it was actually allegedly Milne and Leigh Montagna. Channel Seven was forced to issue an apology to St Kilda and Koschitzke and issued a retraction. Stephen Milne and Leigh Montagna were subsequently advised by Victoria Police that no charges would be laid.
