Citytv announced that Canadian television and radio personality Meredith Shaw has joined Breakfast Television as its new co-host.
Shaw will co-host alongside Sid Seixeiro and the BT family, including Devo Brown, Tammie Sutherland, Stephanie Henry, and Frank Ferragine, beginning Sep.11.
The 38-year-old joins the BT morning show with years of experience in the industry, including regular appearances on The Marilyn Denis Show, The Social, CTV’s Your Morning, and etalk.
Shaw is well-regarded not only as a reputable Canadian broadcaster but also as a style expert and advocate for inclusion and empowerment.
“Well, this is going to be fun! I have so much respect for this award-winning team and great admiration for the BT audience,” said Shaw.
“It is my pleasure to step into this new role, a real dream come true. From the moment I met Sid, I knew we could talk about anything, laugh about anything, and, most of all, be honest with each other and the audience. I’m so thankful for his support throughout this process and can’t wait to see those iconic Seixeiro dance moves in person. Cheers to a big new adventure. I’m so grateful and so ready.”

More recently, Shaw hosted CHUM 104.5 and iHeartRadio’s syndicated national show, The Back in the Day Brunch. Alongside her fiancé, Chef Rodney Bowers, she also hosted Double Your Dish.
Shaw will also be heard on Toronto’s 98.1 CHFI and across Rogers Sports & Media’s Adult Contemporary radio stations, where she will host a weekend show in the fall.
Breakfast Television had been searching for a permanent full-time host since Dina Pugliese left the morning show in February. Pugliese said she planned on spending more time with family as she prepared for the next chapter in her life. She had been with BT since 2006.
Sutherland replaced BT news anchor Melanie Ng in October 2022, who departed the morning show after 11 years for family reasons.
Breakfast Television received the Canadian Screen Award for “Best Morning Show” in 2020, 2021, and 2022. BT airs live each weekday from 6 to 10 a.m. ET on Citytv, Citytv+, and Citytv.com, featuring a national portion of the morning show in all Citytv markets starting at 8:30 a.m.
