A Morning (formerly New Day and A-Channel Morning) is a morning television show that airs on Canada's CHRO-TV in Ottawa and formerly aired on the other stations in the A system (except for A Atlantic).
Due to severe financial issues, as of March 4, 2009, only one edition of A Morning is produced and aired, namely the one at CHRO-TV Ottawa.[1] The versions in Barrie and London were cancelled outright, and now air repeats of the previous evening's newscasts, while the Victoria edition was replaced with a simulcast of CFAX 1070's morning show. The stations have however retained their (5 p.m for Victoria) 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. local newscasts known as A News.[2] A Atlantic also continues to produce its own morning program, Breakfast Television.
Barrie
CKVR in Barrie launched its A Morning show on September 8, 2008. Previously the station aired a simulcast of Citytv Toronto's Breakfast Television with its own local news inserts.
Following the program's cancellation a mere six months later, CKVR currently airs repeats of the previous evening's 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. newscasts between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.
There are rumors that CKVR could potentially launch a new simulcast of the morning show from CTVglobemedia's Toronto-based 24-hour cable news channel, such as CP24's CP24 Breakfast, but there are no indications of this occurring in the very near future.
London/Windsor
Similar to CKVR in Barrie, CHWI in Windsor now runs a loop of CFPL London's 11:00p.m. newscast between 6 and 9 a.m.
Pembroke/Ottawa
A Morning on CHRO airs in the Pembroke/Ottawa market.

Victoria
CIVI's A Morning in Victoria relaunched on September 8, 2008. CIVI previously aired a local A-Channel Morning, anchored by Bruce Williams, from its launch in 2001 until its cancellation of in 2006 when CTVglobemedia announced it would takeover CHUM Limited. During the time the show was cancelled, a rebroadcast of the previous evenings A-Channel News at 5 and 6 was shown in its timeslot.
CIVI has replaced the morning show with a simulcast of CTVglobemedia's radio station in Victoria CFAX.
Atlantic Canada
The cable-only A Atlantic station in Atlantic Canada produces a similar morning program, although its program uses the name Breakfast Television, which it previously licensed from Citytv.
