Re: More layoffs at Rogers
I read another article in which Rogers gleefully announced that they were hiring. Sadly, they also announced that those being laid off did not possess the skill set for these new positions.

“Let’s buy out Bell’s share of MLSE then layoff staff that we actually still need but will split the workload with remanding staff, like we did with Citytv.” How about them Jays?

Re: More layoffs at Rogers
Am I correct in hearing Steve Roberts was one of the casualties at 680?
Cheers,

Re: More layoffs at Rogers
If Steve Roberts is one of the casualties, that would be sad. He's one of the better ones.
It certainly sounds like the business editors were laid off. Other than Mike Eppel during the morning show, there haven't been business editors doing the updates at :26 and :56 past the hours since yesterday. The news anchors have been doing those themselves.

Nobody gets "laid off" in radio.
Laid off suggests they might be brought back if economics allow.
They are fired.
