Canadian Talk Show Host Dini Petty Returning To TV Aged 80 With ‘Trailblazing Talks’


Dini Petty, the iconic Canadian talk show host and broadcaster, is returning to network TV aged 80 with a special titled 'Trailblazing Talks'.

In the show, Petty will have candid conversations with Canadian Senator, former rower and three-time Olympian gold-medalist Marnie McBean, and actor, producer and Reelworld Screen Institute founder and Executive Director Tonya Williams. “I created this one-hour special to celebrate broadcast icon Dini Petty’s powerful return to television at 80, alongside two remarkable trailblazers from her past.” The News Forum is a privately-owned Canadian national network focused on integrity, balance, inclusion of voices and promotion of democracy – all of which have become increasingly important to the country in 2025 following Donald Trump’s threats to turn Canada into the 51st state.
