Bell Media has laid off nearly 100 workers, the Star has learned.
“As part of Bell Media’s ongoing transformation to a digital media and content leader, we can confirm that 98 positions are impacted, predominantly in service and corporate departments,” a Bell Media spokesperson told the Star. “Included in the total are 44 union roles, with the majority being offered voluntary separation packages by Bell Media.”
The spokesperson also said that no CTV News journalists were affected by the changes and no news programs have been cancelled.
Earlier this month, the company announced an “enhanced voluntary separation program” to around 1,200 unionized employees.
More to come.
