 "I am excited to co-host CTV MORNING LIVE alongside Nicole Dubé, and to join this amazing team,” said Ladhani. “I lived in “The Peg” for a year in 2014 and was still getting my feet wet in the industry.

He earned a psychology degree from Wilfrid Laurier University, and later worked behind the scenes at HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. Ladhani also holds a diploma in Broadcast Journalism from Seneca College.
