The Toronto-based company says the move is part of programming changes across the country that are meant to improve efficiency and allow it to continue producing journalism. Corus spokesperson Annie Arnone says that while some jobs would be affected, the broadcaster is also adding roles to continue providing news programming in the Calgary and Edmonton markets. She says changes will be reflected on air in the coming weeks but that Corus would not comment on any specific individuals affected.

The moves come amid significant financial struggles for Corus, which is awaiting approval of its proposed recapitalization plan that would see a change in ownership shifting effective control of all licensed programming services operated by the company and its subsidiaries. Under the proposal, some of Corus’ lenders would forgive approximately $500 million in debt in exchange for 99 per cent ownership of a newly created parent corporation that would wholly own Corus and its services.
