CTV Edmonton announces new morning co-hosts


EDMONTON — Bell Media’s CTV Edmonton today announced Kent Morrison and Ziyah Karmali (pictured left to right) are the new co-host team for CTV Morning Live, beginning Monday, November 2.

Karmali is already a familiar face to viewers in the region, having most recently worked as a weather anchor for CTV News Edmonton. Born and raised in Edmonton, she has spent more than a decade working in local TV and radio. She began her career as a newspaper columnist prior to moving to television, and is an avid sports fan who has worked with both Edmonton’s CFL team as well as the Oilers Entertainment Group.

Joining the CTV Morning Live team from Global News’ local morning program, Morrison is returning to the CTV studio where he got his broadcasting start. He also previously spent three years as a reporter with CBC News. With more than a decade of experience in local news, Morrison loves to shine a spotlight on the people and places that make northern Alberta a great place to live, says the Bell Media press release.

The duo joins CTV Edmonton’s morning show alongside traffic specialist Carla Turner, meteorologist Cory Edel and reporter Nahreman Issa.

CTV Morning Live airs weekday mornings from 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. MT, providing breaking local news, detailed traffic reports and up-to-the-minute weather forecasts for viewers in Edmonton, as well as central and northern Alberta.
