Bell Media has undertaken another round of restructuring with cuts at both its radio and television properties across the country. Six positions were eliminated at CTV Vancouver alone, including an editor, cameraman, director, graphics and control room staff. Kevin Getz, evening and weekend announcer at 94.5 Virgin Radio (CFBT-FM) Vancouver, also Tweeted that his position had been eliminated. CTV Montreal executive producer Barry Wilson, who had been with the station for decades, was also laid off. Wilson’s duties will be assumed by news director Jed Kahane.

While shared Radio-TV morning shows sound good in theory, the ones I'm familiar with never worked out. The former CHUM-AM in Toronto still simulcasts a TV station, and it truly sucks, with a lot of "as you can see in this video" references.
Sticking a camera in a radio studio ends up with everyone losing. If a Newsman ignores the camera, the TV viewer feels very disconnected from the announcer. If the Newsman plays to the camera, the quality of his radio delivery generally suffers.
