CTV News Vancouver Island鈥檚 weekend newscast appears to have been axed as part of Bell Media鈥檚 restructuring plan, which has cut jobs for more than 200 employees in sa国际传媒.
Alanna Kelly, who worked as a journalist and weekend anchor at CTV VI, tweeted on Wednesday: 鈥淚鈥檓 gutted to be part of this corporate restructuring after pouring myself into my work 24/7. 鈥淢y time with Bell was short but I鈥檓 proud of my stories and the people they represented.鈥�
The weekend newscast has been cancelled, she said. 鈥淚t was a point of pride for me, and hopefully that was reflected in our viewers.鈥�
The link to Kelly鈥檚 profile on the CTV VI 颅website has been taken down.
The newscast previously ran at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. seven days a week. Its 5 p.m. newscast runs Monday through Friday.
Bell Media is part of BCE Inc.鈥檚 Bell sa国际传媒 division, sa国际传媒鈥檚 largest telecommunications company. Operations include the CTV television network, specialty TV channels, radio stations and production studios. The total number of employees who have lost jobs was unclear Wednesday.
