Patty Sullivan's Career Highlights
After finishing her studies in radio and television in 1990, Patty Sullivan first worked in news radio. Soon after, she joined TVOntario (TVO), a public TV station.
In 1994, Sullivan became a host for the TVOKids programming block. A "programming block" is a group of shows aired together. She was part of the TVOKids team that won an International Emmy Award in 1995. This award was for their special programming on the International Children's Day of Broadcasting.
In 2003, Sullivan left TVO. This happened because she also hosted a show called Animal Magnetism on another channel. This show aired at the same time as her TVOKids program. TVO felt this was a "conflict of interest," meaning her two jobs might have clashed.
Joining Kids' CBC
Five months after leaving TVO, Sullivan started working for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). She became a host for the new Kids' CBC show on CBC Television. She hosted Kids' CBC for many years, from 2003 until June 2016. In 2016, CBC announced that Sullivan would be leaving as part of new changes to Kids' CBC.
