EDMONTON – After cancelling its Citytv Breakfast Television show in Edmonton last week, Rogers is inviting viewers in that city to dig in to a new show called Dinner Television.
Billed as a local, entertaining, and interactive prime-time series, Dinner Television will debut May 19 and will air on City Edmonton every day from 5:00 to 7:00 PM MT and live online at Citytv.com/Edmonton It will air in an encore presentation each weekday morning from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM, with updated local news, traffic, and weather in an L-screen format.
Hosted by NHL veteran Jason Strudwick, Dinner Television will also feature Breakfast Television personalities Bridget Ryan and Courtney Theriult, plus former volleyball player-turned-sports anchor Claire Hanna.
“The dinner timeslot was previously under-served by local programming”, said Jordan Schwartz, Rogers’ VP in-house productions, in the news release. “By tapping into this unchartered territory, we are able to better serve audiences by delivering fresh, interactive programming that showcases local news, festivals, and relevant events as they happen within the community.”
