Global Calgary's Bruce McAllister

Just posted on their website and Facebook page minutes ago:

For all those curious about Bruce:
Unfortunately Global Calgary has been unsuccessful in negotiating a new talent agreement with Bruce McAllister.
As a result he is no longer an employee of Global News Calgary.
Bruce is an exceptional on-air talent and contributed greatly to the success of the Morning News and Noon News Hour.
We thank him and wish him all the best.

Well this makes sense since I'm sure he asked for some outrageous salary increase so it might be called a living wage!

Could be...I was just thinking the contract is up, station is under new management, corporate budgets are tight and we can all imagine how the rest went down.

Shaw is playing hardball with all of it's long time employees who make a better than average buck.
Global Vancouver still is without a contract and rumour has it Shaw is being even tougher in negotiations than the previous owners.
