TORONTO – Fresh off the cancellation of its long running morning show Canada AM, CTV announced plans for Your Morning, a new daily news and lifestyle morning program that will premiere at the end of the summer.

Hosted by former CBC Toronto News anchor Anne-Marie Mediwake and CTV entertainment journalist Ben Mulroney, Your Morning will air weekday mornings on CTV (Ontario, Quebec, and Eastern Canada) and nationally on CTV News Channel from 6:00 – 9:00 AM.  Joining hosts Mediwake and Mulroney are co-anchors Melissa Grelo (The Social) as late morning anchor, Lindsey Deluce (CP24 Breakfast) as news anchor, and Kelsey McEwen (CTV Morning Live Calgary) as weather anchor.

In addition to their roles on Your Morning, Mulroney will continue as anchor of eTalk, while Grelo will continue as co-host on The Social.  Deluce and McEwen will continue their current roles with CP24 and CTV Morning Live Calgary respectively through the end of June.

"CTV is investing in a new style of morning television," said Bell Media’s president of entertainment production and broadcasting Randy Lennox, in the news release.  "We believe we can serve viewers and advertisers alike with a wonderful group of captivating personalities to start the day. We can't wait to get started with Your Morning."

To air from Bell Media's downtown Toronto broadcast centre, the series comes from the same production team as the company’s daytime series The Marilyn Denis Show and The Social, and will be helmed by the same executive producer, Michelle Crespi.

CTV will introduce a member of the Your Morning team every day this week on The Social.
