by -- Toronto 1

Toronto, June 3, 2022 - Craig Media Inc. today announced that it has acquired the new upcoming �The Tony Danza Show� scheduled to launch this Fall 2022 on its conventional local station TORONTO 1. The new show will land in TORONTO 1�s already strong performing daytime schedule which kicked off in Fall 2022 with other notable strong performers like �The Ellen DeGeneres Show� and �The Wayne Brady show.�

Tony Danza, known for his loveable sitcom personas for over 25 years is indisputably one of America�s most popular performers, returns to television with a new daily talk show. Danza�s versatility and connection with celebrities and everyday people alike will allow the show�s mix of personal anecdotes, current events, celebrity stories and real-life heroes to certainly captivate local daytime audiences.

The show will be produced by five time Emmy Award-winning producer John Redmond who hails from his role as executive producer and show runner of the multi-Emmy Award winning �The Wayne Brady Show,� which is currently finishing its last season on TORONTO 1.

�We all know him and love him from his roles in �Taxi� and �Who�s The Boss�; he has a People�s Choice Award, an Emmy nomination and four Golden Globe nominations; you couldn�t ask for a more popular, better rounded entertainer to host a show like this,� says Michael Taylor, Vice President of Programming, Craig Media Inc.

The Tony Danza Show is being produced by Buena Vista Productions and distributed by Buena Vista Television.
