Corus Entertainment announced further job cuts affecting its Toronto-based News 640 station. The layoffs follow a previous round of staff reductions a month prior, which primarily impacted the company’s western operations. The most recent round targets broadcast staff, with specific details on the number of affected employees not yet disclosed.
The decision comes amid ongoing restructuring efforts within the media sector. News 640, a key local news outlet, has seen several staff departures in recent weeks. Industry analysts suggest the changes are part of broader cost-cutting measures in response to shifting viewer habits and financial pressures.
Employees affected by the layoffs have been informed through internal communications. While the company has not provided a detailed breakdown of the impact, sources indicate that the reduction in staff could affect the station’s operational capacity.
The move reflects a wider trend of consolidation in the broadcasting industry, with media companies adjusting to evolving market demands. No immediate plans for reorganization or new hires have been announced.
