Dec 4 (Reuters) - CBC/Radio-Canada said on Monday that it plans to cut about 600 union and non-union positions over the next year, as the national broadcaster implements cost-saving initiatives.

CBC and Radio-Canada will each reduce about 250 jobs, while the remaining roles will be trimmed from the technology and infrastructure divisions. Additionally, about 200 presently vacant positions will be eliminated. Earlier this year, the broadcaster began implementing over C$25 million in discretionary cost reductions including travel, sponsorships, marketing and postponement of technology initiatives.

CBC/Radio Canada will cut about 10 per cent of their workforce, which includes 600 unionized and non-unionized positions. On top of that, 200 vacant positions will also be axed. Financial pressures are the driving force behind the cuts, which will also spill over into the broadcaster’s programming departmentIt’s expected that the CBC will pull back on introducing new television series and may produce fewer episodes of existing shows. There is no word yet on what the layoffs will mean for CBC in this province.

The public broadcaster says CBC and Radio-Canada will each cut about 250 jobs, with the balance of the layoffs coming from its corporate divisions like technology and infrastructure. Along with the job cuts, CBC will be reducing its English and French programming budgets, resulting in fewer renewals and acquisitions, new television series, episodes of existing shows and digital original series. It attributed the cuts to rising production costs, declining television advertising revenue and fierce competition from the digital giants. At the end of March, CBC had some 6,500 permanent employees, about 2,000 temporary workers and roughly 760 contract staff.

Already, media reports have been circulating including one from La Presse revealing that Canada’s public broadcaster is looking to eliminate up to 700 positions. News of this major announcement comes in the midst of a reckoning in Canada’s legacy media landscape as traditional broadcasters struggle to adapt to a changing media environment. However, the bill has been extremely controversial leading Meta to block all news content from Canadian publishers from their platforms on Facebook and Instagram. Google has been more receptive to working with the government and recently struck a deal that would see the tech giant pay $100 million a year to Canadian publishers. Details of how that money will be distributed and which Canadian media publishers, including the CBC, will benefit from those dollars is still to be determined.
