Ontario Morning is a Canadian radio program, which airs as the CBC Radio One local morning program for non-metropolitan markets in Southern Ontario. [1] While the network's main stations in Toronto, Ottawa, Waterloo Region, Windsor and London each produce their own city-oriented morning programs, nearly all Radio One rebroadcasters in smaller markets air Ontario Morning in place of their host station's program. [2]

The program is produced from the studios of CBLA-FM at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto, although it does not air on that station's primary transmitter in Toronto. [1]

Nav Nanwa is the program's host as of September 2024. Past hosts have included Sue Prestedge, [3] Jane Hawtin, Joe Coté, [4] Avril Benoit, Dave Seglins, Erika Ritter, [5] Lorne Saxberg, [1] Martina Fitzgerald, Wei Chen, [6] Julianne Hazlewood and Ramraajh Sharvendiran. [7] Sharvendiran is slated to return as host of Ontario Morning in October 2025 after a year and a half as interim host of Here and Now in Toronto, with Nanwa remaining with the CBC in other roles not yet announced. [8]
