CHCH and the Saturday evening news
As of today, CHCH in Hamilton is no longer airing the Saturday newscasts at 6 and 11pm
News director Greg O'Brien posted this to the station's website explaining the decision. He adds that even with the loss of the newscasts, no one is being let go/
It's good to see a person in power explain, in full, why the decision was made.

Re: CHCH and the Saturday evening news
How does keeping employees on salary and telling them to stay home save costs?
This is stunting to draw attention to one of manager O'Brien's pet issues.

Serious question: Would you rather he BS you as to the reason why?

Re: CHCH and the Saturday evening news
The question doesn't make sense to me because O'Brien already is deceiving us. He stated that less money is being apportioned to CHCH by the feds so they have no choice but to stop Saturday evening news production.
However, apart from an unknown number of part-timers, no cost savings for CHCH are discernable here. Maybe I'm missing something or maybe this is a smoke signal to Ottawa.

Anything is better than the situation back in 2015.
Good for them for steering clear of that:
