Globe says shakeup at BCE's Bell Media continues

2015-11-18 07:16 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that as Bell Media continues to shed hundreds of jobs, one of the country's longest-running sports programs is going off the air. The Globe's James Bradshaw writes that Off the Record, a daily half-hour talk show, will soon end its run on TSN after 18 years. Officially, OTR is "evolving," with host Michael Landsberg staying on to produce shorter segments to be aired during the network's nightly highlights show SportsCentre and on-line starting in the new year. The week began with two days of deep job cuts that affected both unionized and non-union staff. Since late August, the company has been restructuring and shedding staff. Bell notified the feds in early November that it planned to cut 380 jobs nationwide. Mary Ann Turcke, Bell Media's president, told staff in a memo on Monday that the cuts are needed as "our industry is evolving quickly, and our company must do so as well." George Cope, chief executive officer of BCE, has said the restructuring "is really the result" of new federal rules after last year's Let's Talk TV hearings that are gradually coming into force. Television networks are suffering from declines in advertising revenue.
