Breakfast Television is expanding with the addition of a daily, one-hour special that will air on Citytv stations across the country.
Starting today, Dina Pugliese, Roger Petersen and news anchor Melanie Ng are hosting a 9 a.m. ET (6 a.m. PT, 7 a.m. MT, and 8 a.m. CT) show focused on conversations around COVID-19.
According to a release from Rogers Sports & Media, “the focus of the daily national special is to let viewers not only act as spectators to history but participate in their own way. From calling in to sound off on how they feel, to participating in cooking and exercise demos alongside our hosts, BT is bringing fresh and entertaining content into a brand-new hour to keep the conversation going.”
In Vancouver and Calgary, the new national hour will be featured during the local Breakfast Television morning shows, with live local news coverage continuing via an L-Bar graphic on the screen. In Toronto, the new national hour will follow the original three-hour BT morning show.
