Kathryn Humphreys joined Citytv in 1997 working on CityNews Weekend before moving over to CityNews Tonight. I've just learned she's no longer a part of CityNews.
When my son played tee-ball at High Park, I remember her covering a game as part of her popular Tee-Ball Tuesday coverage.
I always liked how Kathryn Humphreys talked up sports, never taking it too seriously. Here are my favourite tidbits about her as she leaves our airwaves after 17+ years:
- She is married to Johnny Fay, a member of my favourite band, The Tragically Hip
- Her father used to own the Oshawa Generals
- Her replacement at CityNews is my friend's son's girlfriend who Jeff Marek and I talked about in episode 74 of Toronto Mike'd
Here's hoping Kathryn Humphreys returns to Toronto television.
Happy Update:
Kathryn Humphreys has welcomed twin boys. This might be the first time "family reasons" wasn't bullshit. Congrats, Kathryn.
