A Morning (formerly New Day, Breakfast at The New RO in the case of Ottawa, and A-Channel Morning) is a morning television show that aired 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 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.

As the A network was re-launched as CTV Two on August 29, 2011, newscasts on the stations were re-branded as CTV News and (CTV Morning Live in the case of CHRO and A Atlantic) and no longer have a separate identity.[3][4]

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 6 repeats of the previous evening's 11:00 p.m. newscasts between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Victoria

CIVI's A Morning in Victoria relaunched on September 8, 2008.
