Disgraced Toronto TTC chair returns to small screen


TTC chair Adam Giambrone’s TV talk show is back on track, starting on Thursday. On the Rocket was last broadcast Jan. 21, just before Giambrone (pictured) formally declared he was running for mayor. He withdrew from the race about a week later after publicly apologizing for betraying his live-in partner with a series of affairs. The show is expected to focus on the TTC’s efforts to reform customer service. Officials were still working Tuesday to confirm a guest appearance by hotelier Steve O’Brien, who is heading the TTC’s recently formed customer service advisory panel. Giambrone isn’t the only city councillor who takes questions from the public on TV. Mayor David Miller has a show and, until recently, Councillor Adam Vaughan hosted a program called Hour Town. He withdrew in January when he registered as a candidate in the fall election. Giambrone hasn’t said whether he will run again in his Davenport ward.
