Show format

The program includes discussions of trending topics between the hosts, interviews with celebrities and other guests, musical performances, and lifestyle segments. New guests are brought in each day to talk about their lives, expertise, shows, or recordings that the guests may be promoting at the time. As a local morning program, ''The Morning Show'' also included local news, weather, traffic, and current events, as well as interviews and performances from guests. On December 12, 2012, it was announced that ''The Morning Show'' would be expanded in early 2013 to include an additional half-hour that would be broadcast nationally. In 2015, due to a centralization initiative, national news segments, anchored by Jeff McArthur, from the Toronto production began to be shown as part of local morning shows on Global Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Montreal and Halifax. An "L-Frame" format was introduced on the show, alongside other '' Global News Morning'' programs nationwide, on June 5, 2018. The new format, which is similar to that of
