[edit]

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]WhileCanada AMwas produced at the network's9 Channel Nine Courtfacility in Scarborough and was under the auspices ofCTV Newsuntil October 2015,Your Morningis produced from the downtown Toronto studios at299 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 includingThe SocialandThe Marilyn Denis Show.[4][5]

Similarities toCanada AMinclude news reports, a weather segment (this time without additional local weather information after the segment), a cooking segment and occasional music performances. LikeCanada AM,Your Morningis 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 forCanada AM.The show's original production team included several producers who had previously worked onCanada AM,including Kristen Rynax, Paul Hughes, Katie Jamieson, Trish Bradley, Emily English, Tyler McFadden and Shannon Crown.

Your Morningpremiered on August 22, 2016, withBen MulroneyandAnne-Marie Mediwakeas cohosts. The first show included an interview withPrime MinisterJustin Trudeauand a live music performance from American country music duoFlorida Georgia Line.[6]

As of September 2019, a portion of the program can now be seen live at 3 AM PT/5 AM CT on CTV's owned-and-operated stations in Western Canada, immediately followed by the localCTV Morning Livebroadcasts.
