More Cuts At Corus, Including AM640

You wouldn't think there was anyone left at Corus to let go and still keep things running. Despite that, another round of cuts has hit stations from the west coast to Toronto. 

The AM640 cuts include producer Santiago Bedoya, a 3-year veteran who is frequently heard on air during several talk shows. Global BC and Global National also lost employees. According to a written statement:

“These changes are part of the difficult but necessary work to ensure our teams are structured in a sustainable way, while minimizing disruption to local news and audio delivery. We remain committed to supporting our news operations, and these changes do not reflect station closures or a retreat from our commitment to news."

Yes, and they forgot to add 'don't let the door hit you on the way out.' My sympathies to those who lost their jobs on Wednesday.

Sympathies as well to those that lost their roles. 
If Corus Q4 numbers are off target, it’s safe to assume even more good people will lose jobs. 

Who’s left at 640?
