On June 5, 2013 Global Toronto's news anchor Leslie Roberts was announced as the co-host of the national edition of the show.

On June 28, 2016, Global News announced that they had not renewed co-host Liza Fromer's contract when it expires at the end of the month.

Additionally, hosts Jeff McArthur and Carolyn Mackenzie will move exclusively to the extended national edition of The Morning Show, while Global News at 11 co-anchor Antony Robart and former Breakfast Television host Jennifer Valentyne became the anchors of Global News Morning, along with Liem Vu and Marianne Dimain.

In October 2016, Corus launched local versions of The Morning Show on its then-CTV affiliates CKWS-DT Kingston and CHEX-DT Peterborough (both of which have since become full-time Global O&O's).
