Corus reportedly shifting Global News Alberta production to Toronto

Corus Entertainment, the parent company of Global News, is reportedly ending local television news production in Calgary and Edmonton, with the newscasts expected to be produced from Toronto. In a statement provided to Broadcast Dialogue, Corus stopped short of confirming the reported changes, only saying it is making programming adjustments across the country as part of “ongoing efforts to strengthen and sustain” its news and audio divisions. “As a result, we have had to say goodbye to some of our Global News and Corus Radio personalities,” the company told Broadcast Dialogue. “We greatly appreciate their time with us, and wish them the best in their future endeavours.” You might also like: - TV series filming in Alberta has a casting call for extras right now - An Alberta spot just recorded the largest detached home price increase in Canada - Thunderstorms with massive hail risk target very populated parts of Alberta Thursday Daily Hive has reached out to Corus Entertainment and Unifor for comment, but as of writing, has yet to hear back.
