Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

Joining me now on the line are Michael Eckford and Fiona Forbes.

Thanks to their youthful animation and candid on-air repartee, so wrote the National Post, they came to prominence in this market when from 1997 to 2002 they co-hosted Daytime on Rogers, which became Urban Rush on Shaw Cable 4. From 2002 until they were unceremoniously dumped this spring, they co-hosted CityTV's Breakfast Television. They return to Shaw and Urban Rush this Monday, the 20th of September, bringing their unique and one-of-a-kind chemistry to television screens in the Lower Mainland at least 37-times-a-day.

Welcome to thecommentary.ca, the former and future hosts of Urban Rush on Shaw Television, Michael Eckford and Fiona Forbes; Good afternoon Ms. Forbes and Mr. Eckford.

This segment was produced by Joseph Planta, with Richie Leung.
