Actually, the Charter guarantees free expression. It does not actually give an unlimited right to free speech. More to the point, the Charter is irrelevant here because Sportsnet is not an agent of the government. You have exactly no guarantee of free speech or expression against a private organization. In fact, given his history, it is very likely that Cherry's contract had clauses regarding specific behavioural habits that likely made his termination an easy decision once they felt that the damage to their brand was going to exceed the value he brought.
