Unifor was the first to mention the cuts but for those certain Americans who really cared about Canada unlike the GOP goons in DC, if u don’t know about Lethbridge & Kelowna well the brutal cuts in the last few years since the Rogers-Shaw and the massive content deals with both WBD & Comcast increasingly facing struggles for Canada’s no. 2 English broadcaster. Global’s other 3 smallest markets in Durham, Peterborough & Kingston in Ontario might be facing the axe as well so does Global News BC1. Of course we seen the cuts already in the family content division from Nelvana pausing production & closing down 5 Disney & Nickelodeon channels with the latter’s content being removed on both YTV & Treehouse. Global Calgary already handling the weekend evening newscasts in Edmonton while Global Edmonton handles Calgary’s weekend morning show. It won’t be long until some large & midsized markets might be downsizing as well whether the weekend newscasts being axed as a last resort in both Calgary, Edmonton & Winnipeg much like what CTV did last year & probably evening & weekend newscasts in Saskatchewan, Montreal & the Maritimes. Don’t let other smaller markets in Canada face the same fate as Medicine Hat & Lloydminister.
