3/23/2023 0 Comments Gord martineau![]() How much more news do we really need to hear. I appreciate the weather and the traffic and also the people who take transit this is good. Please how many times do we need to hear about the murders overnight in the city, the protest. Annoying was a word used in a few comments I do not understand how Jennifer was annoying she was very personable when she did her interviews and as far as people wanting more news. Something I was wondering is Greg still working at City on the BT show? Whatever Jennifer decides to do I know she will give 100%. Cleaning house is fine but when you start to get rid of your employees of 23 years something is terribly wrong with the system. What would Kevin have to gain from all of this. Reading over the comments I was shocked to see the comments that Kevin Frankish had something to do with this. Well, I know that the head office really does not care about what people may think but with this outpouring of support and love shown towards Jennifer, hopefully the head bosses will rethink what they have done. Who knows, maybe Global will pick Jen up. After all, that’s how Rogers makes their money and that’s the only thing they understand. Maybe we should start a campaign to boycott BT sponsors. I change channels between periods now, (take note Rogers advertisers). A guy in his 40’s who pranced around pretending to be in his 20’s, who can’t even tie a tie, comb his hair and couldn’t pick out a normal suit that actually matches his shirt to save his life. But the reality is that George should stick to his one on one interviews because on HNIC, he looks and acts so out if place, it’s a joke. The same company that thought George Strombolpolus would be a better host for Hockey Night in Canada than Ron McLean. But then again, this is yet another dumbass move from the twits at Rogers Corp, who have a long history of screwing things up that aren’t broke. Well if that was truly the case, we’d be watching the CBC News Channel instead of BT. Sure, viewers want more doom and gloom news stories to start their day instead of watching someone upbeat and positive like Jen, showing the good things that are going on in the city. The news comes just days after Jody Vance exited Breakfast Television Vancouver. Upon graduating from Centennial College’s Broadcasting program she worked as a graphics operator at MuchMusic, then as an on-air promotions creator for MuchMusic and Citytv before joining Breakfast Television. Valentyne began her career in 1987 when she began working at Citytv as an intern. I don’t know what the future holds but I will keep you posted. I am very fortunate to have been part of your lives for 23 years. I know now and it’s giving me comfort and strength. You never really know how people feel about you. I have read the comments on the BT Facebook page and I’m overwhelmed with emotion. I want to thank you so much for your outpouring of love and support. I’m sad that Breakfast Television’s decision to go in a different direction has meant that I will no longer be on the show. “I am sorry to say that the news is true. We truly value the contribution Jennifer made to BT over the years and we wish her all the best as she moves on to her next venture.”Įarlier in the day, BT Toronto co-hosts Kevin Frankish and Dina Pugliese took to Twitter to share the sad news.Įarly Friday evening, Valentyne took to Facebook to leave a message for fans: As a result of the position being eliminated, we explored other on-air TV opportunities for Jennifer within the organization, but were unable to find a position which she considered comparable. This move is a result of a larger BT strategy in which the Live Eyes in each market have been eliminated and replaced to give viewers more of what they want with local news and information. “I can confirm that Jennifer Valentyne is no longer with Breakfast Television. TV, Eh? received the following statement on Friday: While many fans assumed it was an April Fool’s Day prank done in poor taste, the reality is Valentyne is gone. Rogers couldn’t have picked a worse day to announce Jennifer Valentyne has left Breakfast Television Toronto.
