Corus to centralize Calgary, Edmonton productions of Global News, some jobs to be cut
- Toronto-Based Corus Entertainment Inc. will centralize production of Global News broadcasts for Calgary and Edmonton, cutting an undisclosed number of roles while adding others to maintain local programming, spokesperson Annie Arnone said.
- These moves follow significant financial struggles, with Corus reporting a net loss of $36.5-million in its third quarter last month as revenue fell 16 per cent compared with a year earlier.
- Corus awaits CRTC approval for a recapitalization plan that would see lenders forgive approximately $500-million in debt, shifting 99 per cent ownership to a new parent corporation called NewCo.
- Unifor, which represents 5,000 workers, urged the CRTC to make approval conditional upon Corus committing not to close media outlets or implement further layoffs, while minority shareholders raised concerns regarding Canso Investment Counsel Ltd.
- Arnone said changes will be reflected on air in the coming weeks, though Corus will not comment on specific individuals affected as the company awaits the Ontario Superior Court's regulatory decision.
