Spencer Litzinger and Melony Manikavasagar Co-hosts of The Zone TV Show

For many of us, watching TV is an ideal escape from the everyday…especially kids;

The Zone is a beloved after-school TV program on the Canadian television channel YTV. It currently airs between 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. I’m joined by Spencer Litzinger and Melony Manikavasagar two of the hosts of this fun tv show.  

Spencer is always trying to put a smile on your face with her larger-than-life funny personality! She’s from Toronto and completed her post-secondary education at Humber College. She’s been hosting The Zone for nearly five years! She’s also a proud dog mom to her puppy, Scruffy. A perfect day for Spencer is any day spent with her friends, laughing and dancing. Spencer can often be found posting her daily adventures on her Instagram stories and TikToks, that's one of her favourite hobbies!

From Brampton, Ont. Melony has over three years of experience in live broadcasting and on-air hosting. She’s currently working towards her Bachelor of Arts in Media Production at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) specializing in radio broadcasting and film/television. While completing her studies, Melony has had the opportunity to engage her creative spirit by working as an on-air radio host and editor for CJRU 1280 AM. The multitalented all-star has also worked as a background actor, interviewer, editor and director. In her free time, Melony enjoys playing the piano, drawing, writing poems and treating herself to pizza. As a South Asian female, Melony is excited for the opportunity to continue representing people of colour on YTV and inspiring positive connections through TV and pop-culture content.

Listen until 11:30 to hear Spencer talk about facing her fears.  

“ I have to face my fears. I have to stay on top of taking care of myself, going to therapy, checking in with how I'm feeling, and it's really like realizing it's okay. Like it's okay to have a bad day. It was just those bad days back then were so intense and so long that there's this big fear around feeling sad again. So it's just like relearning to, face the fear. It's okay to feel sad some days. It's not the end of the world. Check in with yourself, take care of yourself, and also like be grateful that you can feel emotions.”
