Is Marylin Denis leaving CityLine

Answer 1

According pixiepan on Yahoo Canada:

"I have seen a press release from CITY. Apparently it has to do with the acquisition of Chum by CTV last year. The CTRC which regulates broadcasting did not approve the purchase of the 5 Citytv stations as part of the Chum deal with CTV. So, they were sold off to Rogers. Since Marilyn is a CTV (she still has a show on Chum FM radio) employee basically she was working for Rogers the competition. Since that can't happen, they have had her resign from her show and there will be a new show that she will host later this year probably in the fall on CTV. So for now until they transition she'll finish up her contractual commitments before moving over the CTV. There are no announcements yet on what her show will be, but it will be a daytime show that she will host. They are planning it now with Marilyn which is why its still hush, hush."

Answer 2

She was under contract to Chum. When Rogers bought Chum the sale did not include talent under contract to Chum. Rogers was also hoping to get a younger audience. They hosted an "audition" for a new host by having temporary hosts host a few episodes as a try out, such as CityTV personalities Jennifer Valentyne and Tracey Moore who was eventually chosen as host.

Answer 3

CityTV, the home of the show, was one of the stations that CTV was forced to sell to Rogers by the CRTC. Marilyn also works at CHUM radio, which is owned by CTV. She had to choose between the radio show (and a new show offered by CTV) and CityLine. She decided to stay with CTV and the radio show. So far, we haven't seen any sign of her replacement day time program. We are still waiting.
