CBC ended its ties with Ghomeshi earlier on Sunday, said spokesman Chuck Thompson.
"Information came to our attention recently that in CBC's judgment precludes us from continuing our relationship with Jian," Thompson told CBC News.
Thompson would not elaborate on how recently the CBC had discovered the information or what that information was.
"Whenever a decision is made to end a relationship with an employee, terms of separation are never disclosed," Thompson said.

He abruptly took some time off from the show last week saying he had to deal with personal issues. Apparently, his father recently died too.
Complete speculation obviously, but I can only presume this is a drug addiction issue.
EDIT: Looks like he's suing them for $50m in response. And apparently Jesse Brown of Canadaland has the scoop. Looking forward to that.
