Host city bids
The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) announced on 29 January 2018 that London was selected to host the 2019 Juno Awards.[4] London's bid was valued at $1.7 million, including city council's pledge of $500,000.[5]
CARAS had approached Hamilton, Ontario to make a bid for the 2019 Junos, although that city had expected to bid for the following year's awards. Hamilton city council reserved $550,000 for its bid, valued at $1.5 million.[6]
Saskatoon, which first hosted the Junos in 2007, attempted to host the 2019 awards but withdrew its bid due to a lack of available funding.[5] That bid did not receive support from the province of Saskatchewan.[6] However, the city made a successful bid to host the awards in 2020.[7]
There was also media speculation that Quebec City attempted to bid for the 2019 awards.[5]
Events
The Juno Cup benefit hockey game was held at the Western Fair District Sports Centre on 15 March 2019.[8] The Rockers won the game 7-5.[9]
Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea hosted the Songwriters Circle event on 17 March.[10]
Most categories were awarded at a gala at the London Convention Centre on 16 March, hosted by Ben Kowalewicz (Billy Talent) and Julie Nesrallah (CBC).[11]
The main ceremonies featured Loud Luxury, a duo originally from London.[12] Other performers for the broadcast ceremonies were bülow, Coeur de Pirate, Corey Hart, Loud, Jeremy Dutcher with Blake Pouliot, and The Reklaws.[13] The broadcast on CBC's television, radio and music services attracted average minute ratings of 1.2 million. Viewership was 270,000 through streaming and on-demand web access, 14% more than for the 2018 Juno Awards.[14]
JunoFest performances took place in multiple venues across the city on 15 and 16 March. Scheduled performers included Tokyo Police Club, Exco Levi, Texas King, and Whitehorse.[15]
