CityLine is a Canadian talk show and lifestyle television program hosted by Tracy Moore[1] that aired from February 1984 until May 3, 2024,[2] produced for the Citytv network at its Toronto flagship station CITY-DT. Each show had a theme that changed daily. These included "Around the House", "Family Day", "Home Day", and "Fashion Friday". It was Canada's longest running daytime show specifically targeted to women.[3] The show also aired in the United States on the Dabl digital multicast network and was syndicated on local television stations.
CityLine debuted in February 1984, originally hosted by Dini Petty. The show was hosted by Marilyn Denis between September 1989 and May 23, 2008.[4] Subsequent to Denis's departure to host The Marilyn Denis Show for CTV, a series of guest hosts were used, including Jessica Holmes, Jennifer Valentyne, Jody Vance, Liz West, Dina Pugliese, Christine Cardoso, Tracy Moore, Catherine Marion and Nalini Sharma. Moore was named the new permanent host in 2008.
Prior to fall 2008, Cityline was aired live. However, from 2008 to 2024 Cityline was taped in advance and then aired two weeks from the date it was recorded. There was a live audience at every show when the taping takes place. CityLine aired on all Citytv stations across Canada, and formerly also aired on the A-Channel network as well as BCTV and ATV, which was co-owned with Citytv until it was sold. It was managed by Rogers Communications Inc. under their Rogers Media brand following Rogers' acquisition of Citytv.
In 2024, Citytv announced the cancellation of CityLine; the show's final episode aired on May 3. In its place, Moore will host a new, similarly-themed lifestyles segment on Breakfast Television.[5]
In addition to host Tracy Moore, Cityline revolved around regular lifestyle experts from chefs, to design, to decor, including:
Toronto's Next Top Model was broadcast as a segment on Cityline's Fashion Fridays in May 2005. Ten aspiring models were selected from over 1,000 applicants and judged on live television. To promote the connection to America's Next Top Model, Cityline invited ANTM stylist Jay Manuel as a guest on the final episode.
The winner was decided by three high-profile fashion industry professionals, and influenced by an online vote open to the Canadian public. The judges were Elmer Olsen, head of Elmer Olsen Models, Ceri Marsh, editor of Fashion magazine, and Lisa Rogers, one of Canada's first top international models and now a consultant on Cityline.
The winner, Lisa Caroline Leung, of Toronto, walked away with a modeling contract from Elmer Olsen Models, the chance to model on Cityline, a fashion shoot with fashion photographer Gabor Jurina and a spread in the 2005 summer issue of Fashion magazine. Leung was the first multiracial person to ever win any of the Top Model competitions or competition spin-offs.
