Extra media layoffs coming down the pike at Corus in London.
AM980 eradicated two full time and two half time positions on Wednesday.
They consisted of reporter and information reader positions.
This comes as the corporate is seeking to slash 800 jobs by the tip of the month.
Corus additionally introduced the closure of their Hamilton station, 900 CHML at midday on Wednesday, with the station off the air by early afternoon.
Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath referred to as the closure of the station “devastating.”
In a earlier wave of layoffs in March 2023, Unifor (which has over 800 media members at Corus) stated that workers reductions “[chipped] away at already barebones newsrooms and [put] democracy at risk as the number of media workers dwindles.”
