Ken Shaw is a veteran Canadian television news anchor, known for his decades of work at CTV, and he has received multiple honors for his work.
Journalism was Ken's passion, and he was very focused on his journey to becoming a successful news anchor. He followed his dreams and developed a career that has been excellent and outstanding. With plenty of awards and honors to his name, he has proven his talents and excelled in his industry very well.
His knack for broadcasting was cultivated in 1973 when Shaw worked as a technical trainee for Baton Broadcasting, which eventually became CTV News. Ken served as the associate writer and actor of the sitcom SHH! and "It's The News" with a simple start.
In 1979, Shaw became a reporter for CTV Toronto, where he reported on major happenings and news stories from American news programs such as Nightline, Good Morning America, and The Today Show on NBC. Ken started appearing on the midnight newscast of CTV television in 1981.
He has been the National Editor for CTV since 1998. During a two-year period between 1999 and 2001, Ken won many new fans in homes across Canada. His weekday presentation on the CTV News channel became very popular and brought him good fortune and fame. Ken worked at CTV Toronto, and he served as the co-host for CTV News which aired at noon and 6 PM, along with co-anchor Michelle Dube.
In 2008, Ken was nominated for the Gold Ribbon Award at the CAB Convention and won the award for his outstanding contribution to community service. The Gold Ribbon Award is a great recognition and tribute to broadcasters who have dedicated their lives to improving and enhancing their communities.
Ken has been making a substantial income since becoming a professional journalist. He is ultimately satisfied with his career, and he is also pleased with the income he makes in the journalism industry. He is praised as a journalist with many years of experience and has played a prominent role in the CTV News Channel station scenes based in Toronto.
Besides his journalism and media work, he spends much time supporting non-profit organizations, charities, and community events. With an excellent journalism career already established, Ken always tries to participate in social events such as charity functions.
Ken left a lasting impression with his charity activities and is currently involved with two charity organizations as a director: Ronald McDonald House of Charities of Canada and ProAction Cops & Kids. Ken's directing role at charity organizations appears to be a natural fit for him, as he was the director at The HinksDellcres Centre and The Duke of Edinburgh Awards prior to his current director role with the Ronald McDonald House of Charities of Canada and ProAction Cops & Kids. The Whitby Abilities Centre, which deals with individuals with special needs, had Ken serve as the organization's Chair in 2012.

The charitable-hearted journalist has touched many hearts and played a significant role in making the world a better place. Ken's track record and heartfelt gestures towards the less fortunate have not gone unnoticed. On January 25, 2010, Ken was declared to be a member of the Order of Ontario. Aside from the Order recognition, Ken was also honored by the Oshawa Community.
Shaw is very interested in playing golf, and he has enthusiastically participated in many tournaments. In an effort to exploit Ken's love for playing golf, Ken and his wife decided to help the needy in the process. The two have organized an annual golf tournament that raises money directed towards improving community welfare. His community service is truly brilliant, and he has received a lot of praise for all the service he has provided.
Even with all his generous acts, Ken's career and life encountered an obstacle: he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Ken became aware of his condition not because it had developed and shown signs and symptoms, but from his regular blood tests. After his newfound awareness of his illness, Ken disappeared from the television screens for about two months to begin his efforts to fight the disease.
Ken took a brave step during his evening newscast to inform the public of his status. At that time, he was still working at CTV News Toronto. He told the people that he had undergone a successful surgery that restored normalcy in his body. A family friend had alerted him to the importance of getting tested. Since someone had taken the time to care about him, he wanted to pass on the positivity and urged other men to take the step and get tested. Unfortunately, Ken's family friend, who had been battling prostate cancer for some time, passed away after pushing him to get tested. Still, his friend's gesture was forever appreciated by Ken as he made his announcement on air.
Ken married Nancy, who became the anchor of the annual charity golf tournament. She was a perfect fit for him as they shared the same ideas about charity work. He and his wife Nancy have been collaborating on various charity projects. They even raised funds for the healthcare center in their country.
Ken had already been married before he met his current wife, Nancy. He was instantly smitten when he first saw her. Both of them had children from their previous relationships; Nancy had four children, while Ken had three. They put their past marriages behind them and worked towards creating a new family together. Their children got along well, much like the Brady Bunch.
