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, with the timeslot filled by encores of the previous day's late news, while the Victoria edition was replaced with a simulcast of CFAX 1070's morning show.[2]

A Atlantic continued to produce its own morning program, Breakfast Television. Following the re-launch of A as CTV Two on August 29, 2011 and the re-alignment of the stations' news operations with the CTV News branding, both Breakfast Television in the Atlantic and A Morning in Ottawa were re-branded as CTV Morning Live.[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.
