Executive producer Arif Noorani quits Q to develop ‘new show for CBC radio’

CP's Colin Perkel reports: The executive producer of Q is leaving the CBC radio show in the aftermath of the ongoing scandal involving its former host, Jian Ghomeshi, the broadcaster said Monday.
Arif Noorani, who opted to take time away from the program last week, will return to work on Monday to work on a different project, the CBC said.
Noorani did not respond for a request for comment but a spokesman for the broadcaster said the change was at his request.
“He’s asked for a reassignment given all that has transpired over the last couple of weeks,” said CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson.

“When he comes back next Monday, he’ll be working on the development of a new show for CBC radio
