Marilyn Denis Children: Meet Adam Wylde

Marilyn Denis Children: Meet Adam Wylde – Marilyn Denis, a Canadian television and radio personality, is known for her work on The Marilyn Denis Show and CHUM-FM’s Marilyn Denis and Jamar.

Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Denis grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and later received her bachelor’s degree in radio, television, and advertising from the University of Idaho.

She began her broadcasting career at a local radio station in Moscow, Idaho, and later moved to Calgary where she worked at CHFM and CJAY-FM. She also worked as a sports and entertainment reporter and weather announcer at CFCN-TV and TSN.

Since July 2, 1986, Marilyn Denis has been one of the co-hosts of CHUM-FM’s morning show. Initially titled Roger, Rick and Marilyn, she co-hosted with Roger Ashby and Rick Hodge, then with Roger Ashby after Hodge’s departure in June 2008. Ashby retired in December 2018, and the show is currently titled Marilyn Denis and Jamar. From September 1989 to May 2008, she also hosted the syndicated daytime talk show Cityline on Citytv and A-Channel.

After the CTVglobemedia purchase of CHUM Limited and the subsequent sale of five Citytv stations to Rogers Media, Denis found herself working for two separate media competitors. To resolve this situation, she announced that she would be leaving Cityline after 19 years to pursue current and future projects with the CTV Television Network.

She hosted her last show on May 23, 2008. In June 2008, Denis announced she would be hosting a new show, The Marilyn Denis Show, on CTV, which premiered on January 10, 2011, due to studio construction delays. She announced on April 13, 2023, that the show will be ending on June 9th, but she will continue as co-host on her CHUM radio morning show.

Denis has received several awards and honors throughout her career. In 2005 and 2006, she won the Viewer’s Choice Award at the Gemini Awards. In 2007, she won the Gemini for Best Host in a Lifestyle/Information series for Cityline. The Marilyn Denis Show was awarded Best Talk Program at the 2016 and 2018 Canadian Screen Awards.

In 2006, she was honored with Canadian Music Week’s “Rosalie Award,” named after Canadian radio pioneer Rosalie Trombley. In 2017, Denis became the first female broadcaster to receive the Allan Waters Lifetime Achievement Award, presented at Canadian Music Week during the Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Awards in Toronto. She was also awarded an honorary PhD in Humane Letters from the University of Idaho, where she delivered the commencement speech on May 13, 2017.
