My source at City says the duo, has been let go.  They've been on there for 3 years...

Anyone confirm?

Bios are still up on the website as of 1pm

they were escorted out of the studio this morning after the show. NO NOTICE just GOODBYE

WTF!!!! I love watching those two! The only reason I ever watched CityTV

Who is going to host the  Morning show , or are they cancelling the show  and getting totally out of local news ?

Does  any have any  ratings for the local newscasts?

Depends if you actually THINK what CITY-TV has been cranking out is classified as NEWS vs fully staffed newsrooms at Global/CTV and somewhat staffed at CBC.

Sad news.  Both topnotch broadcasters and I thought they had a very entertaining morning program.  I hope they both turn up somewhere else in town.

This begs the question of what happens with Mark, Dawn, and especially Tasha, who really makes the show.   Those are two BIG severence packages...so Rogers must have something up their sleeve!

A million and one stories in the big CITY .... I bet they'll send some juice out of Calgary.  Monkey-see, Monkey-doo

It appears that they will reduce the length of their morning show from 4 to 3 hours, but no increase in other local news programming that I can tell from their fall launch.  Is CityNews International considered local news content?

They're still up as of 5:15 pm.  But it is indeed confirmed.

City-TV replacing hosts of Breakfast Television

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - City-TV's Breakfast Television show is going in a new direction. City-TV management has confirmed the hosts of 'B-T', Simi Sara and Dave Gerry, will not be returning to the show.

There is no word yet who will replace Sara and Gerry, who have hosted the show since August 2005

I honestly can't believe this.

Granted, City TV's morning news coverage wasn't as in-depth as their Channel 11 counterparts, but this duo had outstanding chemistry. And that's not just compared with the estranged-brother-and-sister relationship Darling & Colliar seem to be mired in - I mean real chemistry. There isn't much to watch or listen to in this city during the mornings. Simi & Dave were a rare bright spot among a mediocre batallion of one-liner-kings and akward second bananas.

They're bound to resurface somewhere - Does CFUN need a changing of the morning guard?

Saw this add a few days ago on Media Job Search Canada. My morning coffee just won't be the same. I feel like I've lost a family member.
