Timeline
Michael Coren (born 15 January 1959) is a British-Canadian writer and clergyman.
Coren married his wife, Bernadette, in 1987.
Coren was born in Walthamstow, Essex, England, of Jewish heritage, and raised secular.
After obtaining a degree in politics from the University of Nottingham, he moved from Britain to Canada in 1987.
His career as a broadcaster began in the early 1990s when he co-hosted a political debate segment with Irshad Manji on TVOntario's Studio 2.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Coren was alleged to have spoken objectionably about people with AIDS.
Coren took exception to being labelled a "literary prostitute" during a 1994 interview.
In 1994, the Ryerson Review of Journalism reported Coren's response to an interview question about the disease:
For several years, he was a columnist for Frank and then The Globe and Mail, before he began syndicated columns for the Financial Post and Sun Media in 1995.
Following his departure from Frank, he became a favourite target of that publication, culminating in a spoof ad contest to "deflower" Michael Coren (a nod to Frank ' s notorious "Deflower Caroline Mulroney" contest, and a satirical jab at Coren's conservative leanings.) Coren had also been a favourite target of Frank back in the days before he began writing for them.
In 1995, he began an evening talk show on CFRB.
A long-time television personality, Coren hosted The Michael Coren Show on the Crossroads Television System from 1999 to 2011 before moving to the Sun News Network to host The Arena with Michael Coren, from 2011 until the channel's demise in early 2015.
He has also been a long-time radio personality, particularly on Toronto talk radio station CFRB.
Coren is currently a columnist for the Toronto Star and iPolitics.
He has written more than ten books, including biographies of G. K. Chesterton, H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.
In 1999, Coren briefly moved to Talk 640 for a short stint as its morning man.
He returned to CFRB, where he hosted a show from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. weekday nights, and regularly filled in for other hosts until November 2005.
Coren was dismissed by CFRB as a result of complaints arising from comments ridiculing the weight of an apparent guest.
In fact, the guest was an actor and the segment was scripted.
According to CFRB's Operations Manager, Steve Kowch, "Pat Holiday, our general manager and myself went through the tape of Monday night's show and were shocked ... it was totally out of bounds."
Coren argues that it was a satire comparing in his mind public attitude to third world starvation with North America's obsession with slimming and self-indulgence.
Despite this acrimonious termination, Coren made regular talk show appearances on CFRB in July 2006, at the start of the 2006 Israel–Lebanon conflict, as he happened to be in Israel at the time.
As of 22 April 2007, the show expanded from its usual one-hour slot at 7–8 pm to 7–9 pm.
In the fall of 2007 he and former Liberal Party of Canada president Stephen LeDrew launched a daily hour-long afternoon show on CFRB called Two Bald Guys With Strong Opinions in which the two argue about the issues of the day.
After the departure of LeDrew, Coren was joined by Tarek Fatah after several on air auditions by potential replacement co-hosts.
Coren was again let go by CFRB along with 12 other staff of the Toronto radio station on 27 August 2009.
On television, Coren hosted the Michael Coren Show on the Crossroads Television System until June 2011 when he left to join the Sun News Network where he hosted The Arena with Michael Coren weeknights beginning 30 August 2011.
His latest books are Heresy: Ten Lies They Spread About Christianity (2012), The Future of Catholicism (2013), Hatred: Islam's War on Christianity (2014), Epiphany: A Christian's Change of Heart & Mind over Same-Sex Marriage (2016) and The Rebel Christ (2021).
Coren also had a newspaper column published every Saturday in the Sun newspaper chain until February 2015.
He has been a columnist for the Western Standard, Catholic Insight and The Women's Post and has contributed to National Post, Reader's Digest and several other publications.
A self-professed Tottenham Hotspur fan, he has appeared as a guest host on The Score's The Footy Show.
Following the demise of Sun News Network in February 2015, Coren briefly joined The Rebel Media, an online platform founded by Ezra Levant originally known as The Rebel Media and since renamed to Rebel News, but left the venture after a week.
Following his conversion to Anglicanism, Coren began to publicly embrace socially liberal ideas such as support for same-sex marriage.
He stated that it negatively affected his career and that he became the target of personal attacks from former readers, observing that "there is none so angry as a fundamentalist scorned".
In a 2015 interview Coren estimated that he lost $35,000 a year in income from lost speaking fees and his former recurring columns for Sun Media newspapers, Crossroads Christian Communications properties, The Catholic Register, and other conservative Christian publications.
He also stated that contrition is a major aspect of his conversion and he regrets "so much of what [he] said, especially the tone" in his earlier career.
Coren was ordained a transitional deacon in the Anglican Diocese of Niagara on 20 October 2019.
Coren is also a public speaker, particularly at religious gatherings.
