Radio Canada announces that it will lay off 130 employees in the next 3 months

 Overseas Network, October 8 According to the Canadian Radio and Television Station, the Canadian Radio and Television Station will lay off about 130 people nationwide in the next three months. The TV station’s executive vice president Barbara Williams (Barbara Williams) said that due to some necessary changes in adjusting the business scale, many positions within the company will no longer be needed by the end of 2020. According to separate instructions to TV station staff, 58 positions in news, current affairs and local affairs will be cut. After the announcement, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation spokesman Chuck Thompson (Chuck Thompson) said that in addition to some of the positions in the description, there will be other English-language positions that will also be cancelled, and a total of 130 layoffs are expected.



Although the cuts are scattered across five television stations in Canada, it is the television station in Toronto that is most affected by the layoffs. Radio Canada currently has approximately 7,500 employees nationwide. Williams said that "a significant portion" of the layoffs was achieved through downsizing, vacancy rates and retirement.


The TV station said that high costs and low returns were the main reasons for the layoffs. Williams said that due to the decline in advertising and subscription revenues and inflation related to traditional TV businesses, Canadian Radio and Television had a budget deficit of approximately 21 million Canadian dollars (about 105 million yuan) at the beginning of this fiscal year. These financial pressures existed before the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and the epidemic worsened the situation. The TV station said that layoffs will happen regardless of whether there is COVID-19 or not.


at the same time. Canadian private television stations are also laying off staff. In July this year, Global News laid off dozens of employees and reorganized them. The company greatly reduced its coverage of entertainment and lifestyle news and optimized its social media team. Williams said that like every media company, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation operates in a challenging media environment, and the media environment is constantly being disrupted.
