Radio and TV news

Just a friendly reminder

I have some stuff posted on this website about job losses recently in the radio sector.

Comments about politics or how people feel about Covid and all that stuff are not welcome on this site. People losing jobs in Canada are not to do with how they feel about Donald Trump or because they got the “Jab”

Remember people lost jobs by doing the things they were asked to do by the management. Also companies like Corus are slowly going out of business and will most likely be selling off there stations to new owners or selling the entire company as a whole. Which means that when they are making cuts it is because they need to save money. There are several reasons Corus is going under slowly. Part of it was the Rogers/Shaw deal as there was a fund from Shaw that helped Corus. It was dedicated funding each month which now goes to the City TV stations that Rogers owns. Also, another part of it, is they are losing a lot of programming for their lineup of TV channels, and most of it is going to Rogers channels. Corus shares are under 20 cents currently so there is a lot happening with that company.

Please do not bring politics or misinformation about things into why hosts are being let go. Also keep the comments friendly. As it is I have to approve all comments so please keep it respectful.

There are other websites that allow those types of comments. Also before anyone comes after me about free speech, I support that except when it comes to things like so and so was let go from this station for getting the “jab” or this host is against Donald Trump and all the great things he brings to the table. Or Trudeau is paying off the media and people do not want to hear what certain hosts have to say as they are lying through their teeth.

If these types of attacks continue I will stop commenting site wide.
