Citytv's lifestyle talk show “Cityline” is coming to an end after 40 years on the air.
Host Tracy Moore announced the news on her Instagram page Tuesday morning.
“I'm as committed to this issue as the viewers are to this issue. There's no other way to put it, but this process has been difficult,” Moore said.
“Am I a little heartbroken? Of course,” she added.
The show discussed the latest lifestyle trends and provided expert advice on everything from fashion to cooking to home decor.
Moore, who has hosted the show since 2008, will host a new lifestyle show as part of Breakfast Television's expansion starting in September.
“We are excited to build on this tradition and evolve our format with a new hour-long national lifestyle live show that will air weekday mornings with Tracy Moore under our successful Breakfast Television brand We would like to thank the Cityline team and all of our guest experts for their unwavering dedication and contribution over the years,” a Citytv spokesperson said in an email to Now Toronto.
Citytyv does not comment on the working status of other Cityline staff.
“Today is a tough day,” Moore wrote in the caption of her Instagram post, but said she was excited to embark on a new journey.
“We love you. We love you. And we appreciate the opportunity to build on Cityline's legacy and evolve what each of you has come to know and trust on this platform,” she wrote. I am.
Cityline continues with new episodes this Friday through May 3, with encore episodes continuing through the summer and new programming beginning in the fall.
The new show is an additional fifth hour of live broadcast on Breakfast TV, airing from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Details will be announced in the coming months.
Citytv said the live format gives it more flexibility in how it creates and distributes lifestyle content on its platform.
