CANADA CBC CANCELS SHOWS, SLASHES 88 NEWS JOBS

Labels:

The one-hour TV news program Connect with Mark Kelley, the radio show Dispatches and drama programming on Radio One will be eliminated as part of cost-cutting measures to CBC English Services to cope with planned budget cuts, the public broadcaster announced Tuesday.
There will be six fewer series on the CBC television network, meaning 175 fewer hours produced, the network announced, but no specific programs were mentioned as decisions are still being made. The result of the cuts will mean more repeats in primetime and fewer specials.
  • In last month's budget, the federal government announced that the CBC would lose $115 million in funding over three years.
  • Last week, the CBC announced 650 positions in total would be cut throughout its English- and French-language programming over the next three years, after a drop in funding from the federal government.
  • Kirstine Stewart, executive vice-president, English Services, said $86 million of the English Services budget would have to be cut, including $43 million in programming and 256 full-time jobs.
On Tuesday, it was announced that CBC News will cut $10 million from its budget and eliminate 88 news jobs.
Along with the cancellation of Connect, which airs on CBC News Network, and the radio show Dispatches, which will take effect in June, documentaries will be reduced and the South American and Africa bureaus will be closed.
