CTV has announced that Canada AM will cease its 44-year run with Friday’s program. It is said to be the longest running morning television shows in Canada’s history. “We are incredibly thankful to our viewers from coast-to-coast-to-coast who have been with us on this journey and a heartfelt part of our TV family all these years,” co-hosts Beverly Thomson, Marci Ien and Jeff Hutcheson said in a joint statement published on CTV News online.
WHAT ELSE MIGHT BELL DO?
The end of Canada AM must be a bit chilling to CTV News employees. The future of old-fashioned television from the sprawling piece of acreage at McCowan Rd. and Hwy 401 will most certainly have been discussed in the offices of Bell Media thinkers. Maybe they just love it. Maybe not. And maybe they wonder how many newscasts they need.
Why! The best morning TV has now gone!
