Retirement
After hockey, McKenny returned to Toronto and he entered the broadcasting industry first selling advertising, and later doing colour commentary for Italian-Canadian games on a local cable station. He also worked as a male model. He joined CityTV as a sports reporter and later a sports anchorman on the dinner-hour sportscasts. At the end of the sports segment Gord Martineau usually refers to McKenny's by his nickname "Howie". While on vacation in 2002, McKenny suffered a heart attack but fully recovered.
On the December 27, 2009 broadcast of CityNews Tonight (23:00 air time) it was announced that this would be McKenny's last broadcast with CityTV.

“Convent. A place of retirement for women who wish for leisure to meditate upon the sin of idleness.”
