Wikipedia

 
Wei Chen is a television journalism|journalist from Canada. She has worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and it's main rival CTV. In 2003, Chen surprised many by leaving CTV, where she was a national correspondent, to work for a local upstart station called Toronto 1, where she would host the station's morning news program.

The program, Toronto Today, was a bust and ratings were a disaster. It was cancelled after only eight months on the air. The majority of the staff was laid off. Chen was re-assigned as a reporter for the primetime magazine program Toronto Tonight, which was later also cancelled.

Chen was also a university roommate of singer-songwriter Jann Arden.
