CTV is announcing that the daytime series The Marilyn Denis Show will conclude at the end of this season with the final episode set to air on June 9.
โHosting 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 Iโm ready to step away and refocus on my family and other projects,โ said Marilyn Denis.
โWhile Iโm moving on from daytime TV, Iโm not saying goodbye and will continue on the CHUM morning show and with my podcast,” she added. “I want to thank the entire team at The Marilyn Denis Show, who are and always will be family, the incredible experts and guests who have joined me over the years, and most importantly โ every studio audience member and the viewers at home for welcoming me into your lives. Iโll be forever grateful for the wonderful years weโve spent together.โ
She announced the news on her show this morning.
