He quit his job as an investor at a bank and started working as a traffic reporter in 1993, before hosting talk shows at CIQC and CJAD radio. In 1997, Lurie moved to television, working at CTV.

During his time in media, Lurie has covered some of Montreal’s biggest stories, including the 1995 referendum, the ice storm, the biker wars, several high-profile court cases, and several elections. He has also covered several world leaders when they visited Montreal, including former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter; Poland’s Lech Walesa; and Israel’s Ehud Barak. In 2008, Lurie won the prestigious RTDNA award for Central Canada for his election series “Campaign Trail.”
