In a recent press release, CTV reaffirmed its commitment to original daytime television with the announcement of a new, daily, morning program. From Bell Media In-House Productions, the live, three-hour program Your Morning will premiere at the end of the summer. The network also confirmed that trusted news veteran Anne-Marie Mediwake (CBC Toronto News) and entertainment journalist Ben Mulroney (eTalk) will host the series.
According to the same release, Your Morning is a new approach to morning television. The series will deliver an original perspective and unique insight into the stories of the day, while showcasing lifestyle topics of interests to Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast. News on the program will be delivered by CTV News, Canada’s most-watched news organization.
Your Morning will air weekday mornings on CTV (Ontario, Québec, and Eastern Canada) and nationally on CTV News Channel from 6-9am, kicking off CTV’s leading original daytime lineup.
“CTV is investing in a new style of morning television,” said Randy Lennox, President of Entertainment Production and Broadcasting at Bell Media. “We believe we can serve viewers and advertisers alike with a wonderful group of captivating personalities to start the day. We can’t wait to get started with Your Morning.”
“Our viewers already wake up with news and information available at their fingertips,” said Nanci MacLean, Vice-President of Bell Media Production. “With that in mind, the purpose of Your Morning is to add context, perspective, and personality in a format designed for today’s viewers.”
Joining hosts Mediwake and Mulroney on Your Morning are dynamic co-anchors Melissa Grelo (The Social) as late morning anchor, Lindsey Deluce (CP24 Breakfast) as news anchor, and Kelsey McEwen (CTV Morning Live Calgary) as weather anchor.
CTV will introduce a member of the Your Morning team every day this week on THE SOCIAL, as they guest host in celebration of the new series.
