Former Mayor John Tory rejoins Bell Media

Former Toronto Mayor John Tory is rejoining Bell Media’s Newstalk 1010 (CFRB-AM) and CTV News.

Tory, who resigned during his third term as mayor this past February after admitting to an affair with a political staffer, previously hosted The Live Drive on Newstalk 1010 from 2009-14. More recently, he filled in as a guest host this summer.

In his new role as a Municipal Affairs Expert, he’ll contribute political analysis across multiple platforms, making weekly appearances on 1010’s Moore in the Morning, CTV News Channel daily political program Power Play with Vassy Kapelos, and CP24 Live at 5.

Bell Media says he’ll also be a regular contributor to CTV National News, CTV News Channel, CP24, and other Newstalk 1010 programs, in addition to CTV News election coverage and specials, beginning with the upcoming Mississauga mayoral by-election.
