Longtime daytime personality Marilyn Denis announces end to ‘The Marilyn Denis Show’
By The Canadian Press on April 13, 2023.
TORONTO – Daytime TV mainstay Marilyn Denis says her long-running series “The Marilyn Denis Show” will end this June. The veteran broadcaster announced the news this morning on her CTV talk show after 34 years in daily daytime television. The 64-year-old Denis says she will continue her radio gig as co-host of the weekday morning slot on Toronto’s CHUM 104.5, which she’s held since 1986. She will also continue to host “Marilyn Denis Does a Podcast.” Denis has hosted the eponymous entertainment and lifestyle series for 13 seasons, and before that, helmed Citytv’s daily show “Cityline” for nearly 20 years. CTV says the series will celebrate Denis’ career with special guests, audience surprises and highlights starting May 8, culminating with a farewell episode June 9. “Hosting a national television show has been a career highlight, and such a rewarding and fulfilling chapter in my life, but after more than three decades of balancing my radio show with a daytime series I’m ready to step away and refocus on my family and other projects,” Denis said Thursday in a release. “The Marilyn Denis Show” airs weekdays at 10 a.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT. CTV says its new daytime programming lineup, including a new series, will be announced later this year. Denis began her radio career in 1976. Her TV career began by reporting on sports, weather, and entertainment at CTV Calgary, while also working as a freelance reporter for TSN.
