The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and Radio-Canada will eliminate about 600 jobs, and an additional 200 vacancies will go unfilled, as it contends with a $125 million budget shortfall.
The public broadcaster said on Dec. 4 that CBC and Radio-Canada will each cut about 250 jobs, with the balance of the layoffs coming from corporate divisions such as technology and infrastructure. Some of the cuts will be made immediately while others will be carried out over the next 12 months.
