Greag Stremlaw appointed new head of sports at CBC

Greg Stremlaw, the former CEO of Curling Canada, has been named the new head of CBC Sports. Stremlaw's priority will be to lead CBC Sports' strategy, placing emphasis on multi-platform sports journalism, amateur sports and a collaborative partnership approach to marquee events, CBC says. "It is a privilege and an honour to be joining such a world-class team and an organization synonymous with broadcasting excellence," said Stremlaw. "I am very proud to be a part of CBC Sports and look forward to helping to continue CBC's tradition of exceptional sport coverage for Canadians." Stremlaw boosted Curling Canada's financial profile by negotiating television deals with TSN and RDS. Stremlaw began his duties with the organization in 2007 and resigned this past May. MORE
