In a press release, Global describes the new show as “more than just a breakfast news program that retells the same stories every half hour.” Instead, it says, the show will feature broadcast veterans engaging in unscripted, interactive conversations about the day-to-day topics affecting Torontonians.

The Morning Show will also incorporate social media tools into all aspects of the news cast — giving viewers the opportunity to participate in the on-set conversations as they occur.

“With The Morning Show,” said Ward Smith, Global Toronto news director and station manager, in the release, “Global Toronto is delivering a product that will completely re-energize morning news in this market.”

Don’t live in Toronto? Global is also launching new morning shows in the Maritimes (late-November), Winnipeg (mid-September), Regina (late-August), and Saskatoon (mid-September).
