CTV daytime talk show The Social is ending its current on-air format as co-host Melissa Grelo departs, according to reports.
Multiple outlets say the change coincides with the program moving to a video podcast model. Toronto Sun reports the new format is filmed in Toronto without a studio audience, indicating a shift away from the traditional studio setting. City News Toronto frames the transition as an opening of a “podcast era,” alongside Grelo’s exit from the show. The outlets do not provide additional detail on a replacement co-host or the show’s future programming schedule.
Overall, the sources agree that Grelo’s departure and the show’s format change are linked, with production shifting to a filmed, audience-free setup for the new video podcast version.
