Bell Media is laying off 4800 people at radio, tv and more. CTV News, CTV National news, local news, radio stations and more are being just gutted. BCE, the company behind Bell Media had warned the federal government that they required specific changes and regulatory relief.
It's actually really sad to see so many talented journalist and local talent/programming being let go. Everybody knows the business is under attack from large US media and tech companies but the federal government is about as slow as molasses to react and assist where possible.
It just seems like we are getting the short end of the stick in all aspects in Canada in regards to telcom's. Raised prices, poorer service, lack of options, more buyouts and mergers and a lack of meaningful information to make informed decisions.
The federal government deserves a lot of blame in this regard. What are they actually doing behind the scenes to protect news and assist Canadians in regards to telecommunications ?
