REVOLVING DOOR: Bell Media has cut 80 full-time positions, or
about 1.3% of its work force, in its latest round of layoffs, and
cites an “industry-wide challenging advertising market” for the
action. The affected positions include local radio and TV; sales,
research and revenue management; marketing and communications;
network operations; and news. The 80 jobs chopped yesterday were
not a part of any previously announced cuts. Jacqueline Milzcarek, an
anchor at CTV News Channel, was one of the 80 people laid off by
Bell Media in Toronto yesterday... Mark Schembri, the regional
manager, engineering & IT - radio and TV Operations - Ontario, is
among a number of people laid off by Bell Media yesterday. Before
taking that position, Schembri was Manager of Engineering & IT at CTV
London from Oct. 2008-March 2012... Also in Southwestern Ontario,
seven people in the Bell Media creative and traffic departments at
Windsor Radio will lose their jobs one month from now. Their functions
are being moved to Hamilton. Also laid off by Bell Media was Jane
Nadeau, a 34-year veteran sales co-ordinator at CFCA-FM/CKKW
Kitchener/Waterloo...

Everybody here cheers the CRTC putting the boots to them. You'll notice however the CRTC doesn't do anything about Rogers doing exactly the same kind of border bs back East. So pick a side folks.

So why does 'big city' or even medium market radio in the U-S sound so much more polished and professional than their Canadian counterparts?
