From Broadcast Dialogue comes news that some higher profile talent let go in the Bell bloodbath a few months ago have managed to land new gigs.
-Hayley Cooper, who was part of recent layoffs at Bell Media, has accepted a position with Etobicoke Centre MPP Kinga Surma as Director of Communications. Up until February, Cooper had been a reporter with Toronto’s Newstalk 1010 (CFRB-AM).
-Rob White and Tami Jeanneret have reunited on the 105.1 The River (CJED-FM) Niagara morning show. The duo previously hosted together on the station from 2003-05, before Jeanneret left to teach at Niagara College. Now owned by Byrnes Communications, both Jeanneret and White had been working at EZ Rock (CHRE-FM) in St. Catharines before getting caught up in last November’s purge at Bell Media.
