Corner Gas star Brent Butt has been signed to host the 2005 JUNO Awards, to be telecast on CTV from Winnipeg on April 3. Last year, 1.51 million viewers tuned in, with more than five million catching at least some part of the broadcast. Sponsors for the event include General Motors, Pantene Pro-V, Doritos and Nice ‘n Easy. The Awards broadcast will follow CTV At The JUNOS, a one-hour red carpet special hosted by etalk Daily’s Ben Mulroney and Tanya Kim.
This is the fourth year the awards will be broadcast on CTV. Last week, the net and The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) agreed to extend their deal through 2007.
