City Tv Toronto Anchor Mark Daily dies December 6th 2010 at the age of 57 from Kidney Cancer

Mark Dailey was an American-born Canadian television journalist and announcer. He was the host of 11 p.m. weeknight CityNews newscasts in Toronto, Ontario, and a prominent continuity announcer voicing interstitial program announcements on Citytv.
Dailey was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, studied law enforcement at Youngstown State University, in Ohio, worked as a police officer, and became a crime reporter for stations in Ohio and at CKLW in Windsor before moving to Toronto in 1974. Dailey worked at Citytv for 30 years. Mark's famous line was "This is CITY-TV, everywhere".
As a voice actor, Dailey voiced characters in the animated series Medabots, The Ripping Friends, Beyblade, Grossology, My Dad the Rock Star, Spliced, and others.
He also appeared in several Canadian films including David Cronenberg's Boozecan (1994), Claire's Hat, The Life Before This, and Childstar.
Dailey is widely credited with delivering the title line during the chorus of the 1982 Rush song "Subdivisions," although he denies this. Neil Peart, who is the drummer of Rush, is actually the person who voices "Subdivisions" in the chorus of the song.
Dailey survived prostate cancer but announced on September 9, 2010, on his 11 o'clock newscast, that he had been diagnosed with kidney cancer. He passed away on December 6, 2010.

I am shocked to hear his death. Just wanted to say that I will miss this person. I enjoyed his voice, his wit and tv reporting. RIP Mark, may God make you the announcer in heaven. I was disappointed with the news stations ie CTV newsnet or CBC with thier headlines at the bottom of the screen. He should have gotten more coverage & his death should have been the first story in the newscast. We know about the weather, the gas prices, the politicans & their BS they pull on us!! Talk about Mark !!

I grew up watching Mark Dailey in the 80s till now. it was a shock to me as my mom told me yesterday afternoon as I was flipping through channels wanting to hear about his death. He was a funny guy, great voice and my condolences to his family. I never met him but would have enjoyed talking to him. What disappointed me was I had to wait 20 minutes in to the newscast (after they reported stories about the world, the weather, politicans) just to hear his death. He should have been the first story.

How I will miss that voice and clever comment. It's the end of an era. Mark Dailey did something unique and I've never seen any other TV station use this clever format like city tv and Mark did. I was watching city tv the other day and heard a strange voice commenting on the upcoming show. It wasn't Mark's voice and I vaguely wondered why. I thought maybe he left or something. I didn't know he was ill and was shocked to read it on the subway news. Too bad. He'll be missed.
