I doubt either of these people are household names to most, but the fact they're in such major positions is a bit of a big deal.
Brodie Fenlon replaces Susan Marjetti as new G.M. and CEO of CBC News. Marjetti has been in the position for nearly four years but has worked at the Corp. for almost four decades, including helping to originate Toronto's "Metro Morning."
Amongst other things, Fenlon helped launch The Huffington Post Canada. He's been with the network in various roles since 2013.

Fenlon was a throwback to the days when the Sun actually pretended to do journalism, as opposed to the current RWNJ opinion rag it has become. It appears he was respected by many during his time there, which makes me wonder how quick the Sun will be to criticize the CBC's "communist" and "socialist" news coverage when ol' buddy Brodie is at the helm.
