Bell Media says it's laying some people off as it restructures operations amid a challenging industry landscape. Spokesman Scott Henderson said in an email Tuesday that the company is not disclosing the number of workers who will lose their jobs. But he said the layoffs, which began Monday and are ongoing, will come from more than two dozen Bell Media locations across the country. He said regulatory decisions, like the CRTC banning Bell Media from substituting Canadian ads with American ones during the Super Bowl this year, have had a significant effect on revenue. Bell Media owns dozens of local TV stations and specialty channels, 105 licensed radio stations, more than 200 websites and over 30 apps.
