The CBC is cutting about 130 jobs across the country over the next three months, the Crown corporation said Wednesday. In a separate note to staff, an official said that 58 positions across news, current affairs and local will be cut. Most of the losses will affect positions based in Toronto, although the cuts will be spread among five centres across Canada. Those financial pressures predated the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which has exacerbated the situation for the CBC and other media organizations. "Like every media company, CBC operates in a challenging media landscape, a media landscape which is in constant disruption," Williams said.
