The program was announced in June 2016 as the network's replacement for the network's long-running morning show, Canada AM, whose cancellation was announced the previous week.[3] While Canada AM was produced at the network's 9 Channel Nine Court facility in Scarborough and was under the auspices of CTV News until October 2015, Your Morning is produced from the downtown Toronto studios at 299 Queen Street West,[3] by Bell Media In-House Productions (later rebranded Bell Media Studios),[4] the division responsible for CTV's daytime lifestyle programming including The Social and The Marilyn Denis Show.[4][5]
Similarities to Canada AM include news reports, a weather segment (this time without additional local weather information after the segment), a cooking segment and occasional music performances. Like Canada AM, Your Morning is a 3-hour long program, with local news opt-outs every half-hour which may be filled by local CTV stations. Your Morning's Executive Producer is Jennifer MacLean, a former Senior Producer for Canada AM. The show's original production team included several producers who had previously worked on Canada AM, including Kristen Rynax, Paul Hughes, Katie Jamieson, Trish Bradley, Emily English, Tyler McFadden and Shannon Crown.
On October 1, 2021, Mulroney left the program and network in order to develop other projects.[9][10]
During its 2025 upfronts, Bell Media announced the local CTV Morning Live broadcasts would be rebranded under the Your Morning title in September 2025, remaining locally-produced.[11]
The CTV Morning Live branding launched on August 29, 2011, following the rebranding of the A television system as CTV Two; it replaced A Morning on CJOH/Ottawa, and Breakfast Television on CTV Two Atlantic.[12] In the weeks that followed, CTV began to launch local morning newscasts under the branding on its stations in Western Canada, replacing its existing national morning show Canada AM (which would remain available nationally via a simulcast on the CTV News Channel). The new programs would compete primarily with local editions of Global News Morning and Breakfast Television.[13][14][15][16]
In September 15, 2025, the programs were rebranded as CTV Your Morning (region), as part of an effort to unify its branding with the national Your Morning show. The programs remain produced by the local CTV station, but Bell stated that the change would allow it "to work with advertisers on both national and locally focused opportunities". As before, the programs continue to only air on CTV stations in Western Canada, with the national edition of Your Morning airing on CTV stations in the east.[17]
As of September2019,[update] a portion of the national program can be seen live at 3 AM PT/5 AM CT on CTV's owned-and-operated stations in Western Canada, immediately followed by the local Your Morning editions. This means, for example, viewers watching CTV Winnipeg will see the first hour of Your Morning at 5 AM CT, followed by Your Morning Winnipeg at 6 AM CT. Meanwhile, viewers in Vancouver can watch the first 2.5 hours of the program on CTV Vancouver starting at 3 AM PT, followed by Your Morning Vancouver at 5:30 AM PT.
Until its closure, CTV's only affiliate in Western Canada, CITL-DTLloydminster, broadcast Your Morning on a tape delay from 6-9 AM MT.
Previously, as with Canada AM, the program was not broadcast on the western CTV O&O stations. It also did not air on three stations owned by Corus Entertainment which were affiliated with CTV from 2015 to 2018.
On March 25, 2025, journalist Rachel Gilmore appeared on Your Morning during what was to be a new weekly "election misinformation" fact-checking segment called "Fact-Check Friday."[24] On March 31, 2025, following online backlash from Pierre Poilievre's Conservative party and right-wing alternative media outlets including the Western Standard, the segment was pulled by executive producer Jennifer MacLean. According to MacLean, CTV was aware the segment would generate "some sort of reaction", but they did not "realize the extent of the volume" of it.[25] The audio recording of the phone call with CTV was posted by Gilmore on April 1, 2025.[26]PEN Canada expressed deep concern about the segment's cancellation calling it a "disservice to CTV's own audience, who deserve access to accurate, fact-checked information during an election."[24] On April 3, 2025, Gilmore announced a new bi-weekly fact-checking segment with Canada's National Observer.[27]
