The name Meredith Shaw is synonymous with confidence, style, and empowerment. As the new co-host of Breakfast Television, she wakes up the country with her signature wit, warmth, and wardrobe. Previously, she gained a loyal following of fans as an inclusive style expert and co-host on CTV’s The Social, Your Morning, ETalk, and The Marilyn Denis Show. And, along with Rodney Bowers, she co-hosted CTV’s Double Your Dish. Meredith is a multifaceted broadcaster with a history in radio who, at the start of 2024, announced her newest venture: hosting CHFI’s The Feel Good Brunch.
Meredith began her career as a singer-songwriter, releasing her debut album, Place Called Happy, in 2011. That same year, she joined radio station Boom 97.3 as a weekend host, where she had the chance to interview artists ranging from Serena Ryder and The Spoons, to Gordie Johnson and INXS. She then moved to the iconic CHUM 104.5, hosting the Afternoon Drive Show and iHeartRadio’s The Back in the Day Brunch.
In 2020, Meredith, alongside her fiancé Chef Rodney Bowers, became the host of CTV’s Double Your Dish. Viewers were invited into their home kitchen to learn how to create two very different recipes from the same base ingredients.
In addition, Meredith is a firm fixture in Canada’s fashion scene. She has booked campaigns for many world-renowned brands, including Hudson’s Bay, Pennington’s, Walmart, Winners, Marshall’s and Eloquii. She has also graced magazine covers, including Canada’s curve fashion bible, Dare Magazine, appeared in the pages of Vogue, walked Toronto Fashion Week’s runways countless times, and worked alongside global supermodels such as Ashley Graham.
At the heart of everything she does, Meredith is fiercely passionate about inspiring and motivating people of all sizes to embrace their power and feel sexy, confident, and fabulous in their own skin. She works closely with initiatives such as Girls Inc., Girl Talk, and Shoppers Drug Mart’s “Run for Women”, to spread a message of inclusivity, self-love, and acceptance.
As a television and radio host, style expert, and advocate for all bodies, Meredith is breaking down the status quo and leading a powerful conversation that’s changing the game.
Meredith lives in Toronto.
