Reports of layoffs impacting Global News surfaced Wednesday, following Corus’s announcement of job cuts earlier this week.
Daily Hive has heard directly from numerous sources close to Corus and Global News that the job cuts have affected the digital web writing teams in BC and right across the country.
Having also heard about the reported layoffs, a journalism instructor took to X, sharing his feelings about them and calling it a dark day for journalism.
Corus has been making several changes to its programming lineup over the last month, including a highly controversial move to cut AM730 programming, an all-traffic radio station in Vancouver.

CRTC should force the sale of stations effected by “going dark” to private non stock traded buyers. The media is fine, it’s the management/owners that are useless.
SURPRISE! Propaganda is not a good business model.
Frankly, I would not be surprised if at some point all broadcasters will be closing their land-based radio and television transmitters and resorting to streaming services. This will be the ultimate cost-cutting measure.
When you question who is paying for their agenda to be broadcast, us it any wonder listeners/viewers flee. Kinda cute how the Internet is blamed…
Digital web writing team from Global BC has made cuts. How about one more cut at Global BC? I just heard Troy Charles, reporter on the 6pm cast. He consistently says “thee” instead of “the.” Plus he too often uses “A” as in “able” instead of “a” as in “cat.”
I find it annoying… anyone else?
