The Morning Show is a Canadian breakfast television show airing on Global. The program was first shown only on Global Toronto as a three-hour local morning show, but now serves exclusively as a national entertainment and lifestyle program. The program is hosted by Jeff McArthur and Carolyn Mackenzie. [1] It debuted on October 11, 2011, from a ground level storefront studio at the Corus Entertainment Building (formerly Shaw Media Building) on 121 Bloor Street East in Downtown Toronto. On September 16, 2016, the show moved out of their Bloor Street Studio to the ET Canada studios. This was a temporary studio while a new one was being constructed at Corus Quay. The show moved to its new studios at Corus Quay on November 21, 2016. [2]

Television in Canada officially began with the sign-on of the nation's first television stations in Montreal and Toronto in 1952. As with most media in Canada, the television industry, and the television programming available in that country, are strongly influenced by media in the United States, perhaps to an extent not seen in any other major industrialized nation. As a result, the government institutes quotas for "Canadian content". Nonetheless, new content is often aimed at a broader North American audience, although the similarities may be less pronounced in the predominantly French-language province of Quebec.

Breakfast television or morning show is a type of infotainment television program, which broadcasts live in the morning. Often hosted by a small team of hosts, these types of programs are typically targeted at the combined demographic of people getting ready for work and school, and stay-at-home adults and parents.

Global Television Network television station

The Global Television Network is a privately owned Canadian English-language terrestrial television network. It is currently Canada's second most-watched private terrestrial television network after CTV, and has fifteen owned-and-operated stations throughout the country. Global is owned by Corus Entertainment — the media holdings of JR Shaw and other members of his family.

From its launch to March 1, 2019, The Morning Show served as Global Toronto's local morning news program from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m., followed by a half-hour segment broadcast nationally at 9:00 a.m., with a focus on entertainment and lifestyle topics. On March 4, 2019, the national program was expanded to a full hour, while the Toronto portion was relaunched as Global News Morning (placing it in line with other Global stations), with Antony Robart and Jennifer Valentyne serving as anchors. The national edition was extended by half an hour and kept The Morning Show name. [3]

CIII-DT Global flagship television station in Toronto

<i>Global News Morning</i> (Canadian TV series) Canadian morning TV show

Global News Morning is the name of local morning newscasts airing on Global Television Network's owned-and-operated stations (O&Os) in British Columbia, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Montreal, and Halifax with each station producing its own edition of the program. In Ontario, the program is branded The Morning Show, with local variations being produced on Global Toronto, CKWS Kingston, and CHEX Peterborough.

History

The show was launched on October 11, 2011 with Liza Fromer, who had been a co-host of Breakfast Television, and Dave Gerry as co-hosts. Kris Reyes from CityNews was hired as 'news anchor' reading the morning's news headlines and Daru Dhillon from CBC News as weather anchor. The show was called The Morning Show with Liza Fromer when it was launched, but the name was changed to The Morning Show.

CityNews is the title of news and current affairs programming on the Citytv network in Canada. It is a standalone local newscast on the network's Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Montreal and Vancouver stations, while on the remaining City stations it airs as the news headlines segment during each station's Breakfast Television morning show.

CBC News news division of the Canadian broadcast network CBC

CBC News, stylized as CBCnews, is the division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation responsible for the news gathering and production of news programs on the corporation's English-language operations, namely CBC Television, CBC Radio, CBC News Network, and CBC.ca. Founded in 1941, CBC News is the largest news broadcaster in Canada and has local, regional and national broadcasts and stations. It frequently collaborates with its French-language counterpart, Radio-Canada Info, although the two are organizationally separate.

Dave Gerry and Daru Dhillon departed the show in mid-2012, which led Kris Reyes to leave the position of newsreader for co-host alongside Liza Fromer. In the place of Gerry and Dhillon, former ABC News reporter Antony Robart joined the show as newsreader and former MSNBC weathercaster Rosey Edeh joined as weather anchor along with her current duties as news anchor at Global Toronto and reporter at ET Canada.

ABC News News division of the American Broadcasting Company

ABC News is the news division of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), owned by the Disney Media Networks division of The Walt Disney Company. Its flagship program is the daily evening newscast ABC World News Tonight with David Muir; other programs include morning news-talk show Good Morning America, newsmagazine series Nightline, Primetime and 20/20, and Sunday morning political affairs program This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

MSNBC is an American pay television network that provides news coverage and political commentary from NBC News on current events. MSNBC is owned by the NBCUniversal News Group, a unit of the NBCUniversal Television Group division of NBCUniversal. MSNBC and its website were founded in 1996 under a partnership between Microsoft and General Electric's NBC unit, hence the network's naming. Although they had the same name, msnbc.com and MSNBC maintained separate corporate structures and news operations. msnbc.com was headquartered on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington while MSNBC operated out of NBC's headquarters in New York City. Microsoft divested its stakes in the MSNBC channel in 2005 and in msnbc.com in July 2012. The general news site was rebranded as NBCNews.com, and a new msnbc.com was created as the online home of the cable channel.

Rosey Edeh is a Canadian television personality, who was a news anchor for Global News at Noon on Global Toronto and senior reporter for ET Canada. She is currently C.E.O. of Micha Muse Media and has directed her debut film Oliver Jones: Mind Hands Heart.

On June 5, 2013 Global Toronto's news anchor Leslie Roberts was announced as the co-host of the national edition of the show. [4] Roberts resigned on January 15, 2015, following allegations of conflict of interest for allegedly promoting clients of his public relations firm on the air, including on The Morning Show. [5]

Leslie Roberts is a radio and television personality. He was the host of The Leslie Roberts Show on Montreal's Newstalk radio CJAD 800 AM. Roberts announced on December 4, 2018 he would be leaving the station as of December 21st to follow his passion for travel as “Editor at large” for traveltowellness.com, a popular wellness travel site, where he will also develop video content. “Leslie’s departure is a loss for CJAD, no question,” CJAD program and news director Chris Bury said. “Leslie is experienced, level-headed, smooth. He can also tap into his emotional and human side to connect to listeners. He and his team have delivered solid ratings, and he’s provided useful insight on the station.”

A conflict of interest (COI) is a situation in which a person or organization is involved in multiple interests, financial or otherwise, and serving one interest could involve working against another. Typically, this relates to situations in which the personal interest of an individual or organization might adversely affect a duty owed to make decisions for the benefit of a third party.

Public relations (PR) is the practice of managing the spread of information between an individual or an organization and the public. Public relations may include an organization or individual gaining exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that do not require direct payment. This differentiates it from advertising as a form of marketing communications. Public relations is the idea of creating coverage for clients for free, rather than marketing or advertising. But now advertising is also a part of greater PR Activities. An example of good public relations would be generating an article featuring a client, rather than paying for the client to be advertised next to the article. The aim of public relations is to inform the public, prospective customers, investors, partners, employees, and other stakeholders and ultimately persuade them to maintain a positive or favorable view about the organization, its leadership, products, or political decisions. Public relations professionals typically work for PR and marketing firms, businesses and companies, government, and public officials as PIOs and nongovernmental organizations, and nonprofit organizations. Jobs central to public relations include account coordinator, account executive, account supervisor, and media relations manager.

On May 19, 2015, Jeff McArthur joined the show, replacing Kris Reyes, and Antony Robart departed from the show and was replaced by former News Hour Final anchor Carolyn Mackenzie on June 1, 2015.

Carolyn Mackenzie is a Canadian journalist. She graduated from Carleton University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Journalism.

On June 28, 2016, Global News announced that they had not renewed co-host Liza Fromer's contract when it expires at the end of the month. No replacement will be hired to fill the position. [6] Carolyn Mackenzie took her place on the national edition.

The show moved from its studios at 121 Bloor Street East in September 2016. A new studio for the show was built at Corus Quay, which began being used on November 21, 2016. As a temporary studio, The Morning Show used ET Canada's studio. [7]

On January 28, 2019, Corus Entertainment announced the expansion of the national edition of The Morning Show, extending the show's running time from half an hour to one hour beginning in early March 2019. [8] On February 12, 2019, it was also announced that the local edition of The Morning Show from 6am-9am would be rebranded as Global News Morning , following the naming-scheme of other Global morning shows across the country. Additionally, hosts Jeff McArthur and Carolyn Mackenzie will move exclusively to the extended national edition of The Morning Show, while Global News at 11 co-anchor Antony Robart and former Breakfast Television host Jennifer Valentyne will become the anchors of Global News Morning, along with Liem Vu and Marianne Dimain. The changes took place March 4, 2019. [9]

Show format

The program includes discussions of trending topics between the hosts, interviews with celebrities and other guests, musical performances, and lifestyle segments. New guests are brought in each day to talk about their lives, expertise, shows, or recordings that the guests may be promoting at the time.

As a local morning program, The Morning Show also included local news, weather, traffic, and current events, as well as interviews and performances from guests.

On December 12, 2012, it was announced that The Morning Show would be expanded in early 2013 to include an additional half-hour that would be broadcast nationally. [10]

In 2015, due to a centralization initiative, national news segments, anchored by Jeff McArthur, from the Toronto production began to be shown as part of local morning shows on Global Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Montreal and Halifax. [11] [12] [13]

An "L-Frame" format was introduced on the show, alongside other Global News Morning programs nationwide, on June 5, 2018. The new format, which is similar to that of CP24 and CHCH Morning Live, allows viewers to see news headlines, business headlines, weather, and traffic the entire show. This format was present on the local edition of the program, but was never present on the national edition of the show.
