Patricia "Patty" Sullivan (born March 17, 1968) is a Canadian television presenter. She has been a host of the Kids' CBC programming block on CBC Television since 2003.
Career
Following her graduation from the radio and television arts program at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (now Ryerson University) in 1990, Sullivan first pursued a career in journalism with a job in news radio before taking a job at provincial public broadcaster TVOntario (TVO).[1]
After responding to an internal job posting for a children's television host, Sullivan began her career hosting the TVOKids programming block on TVO in 1994. She was part of the TVOKids production team that won an International Emmy Award for their 1995 International Children's Day of Broadcasting.[3] She was dismissed from TVO in 2003 when the broadcaster alleged she had a conflict of interest when she hosted, Animal Magnetism, a nature documentary series on the W Network, which aired at the same time as her TVOKids programming block. She later received an unspecified settlement from TVO.[1]
Five months after leaving TVO, Sullivan was hired by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to be a host on the newly-reformatted Kids' CBC programming block on CBC Television.[1]
Personal life
Sullivan lives in Toronto with her husband Michael Kinney and two daughters.[2]
