Five high-profile members of the broadcaster's management team are leaving, including programming guru Susanne Boyce, according to an internal memo obtained by The Globe and Mail. They will be followed by CTVglobemedia president and chief executive officer Ivan Fecan, who announced last summer that he will be leaving the company once BCE’s $1.3-billion deal to buy CTVglobemedia closes in early April.
The departing executives are chief financial officer John Gossling; executive vice-president of corporate affairs Paul Sparkes; Ms. Boyce, president of creative, content and channels; executive vice-president of digital media Alon Marcovici, who was promoted to an executive role less than six months ago; and Dawn Fell, the executive vice-president of human resources and operations. Wendy Freeman remains as head of news and current events programming, a position she was promoted to in January; and Chris Gordon stays on as head of radio and will be handling “a significant new radio initiative” in the spring, possibly the launch of the long-rumoured TSN branded network of stations. A BCE import and the new chief operating officer of CTVglobemedia, Kevin Crull, made the announcement about the changes to his team in an e-mail on Tuesday.
