The two anchors were among several on-air broadcasters named in a statement by Unifor, the union representing workers at 17 local CTV stations. Brown has been a sports anchor for CTV News Toronto since 1985 and, until his layoff, was also the station’s sports director. But Garrow wouldn’t confirm whether any of those named by the union – including Lance Brown and Joe Tilley – had lost their jobs. Last week’s layoffs were sizable, but not the largest Bell Media has undergone in the last few years. “It’s not the big blood-letting we had,” Law said, referring to Bell Media’s layoffs in November 2015, when around 400 employees lost their jobs.
