Canada: faced with a media sector in crisis, the BCE group cuts nearly 4,800 jobs. After newspapers and television, it is the turn of private radio stations to be hit hard by technological and economic changes.
This is the worst personnel reduction in thirty years for the Bell-Canada company, a large part of which revolves around telephony. The audience of radio stations traditionally associated with car travel has been declining since the pandemic and teleworking. The type of audio content is also changing, as podcasts become more and more popular.
