CBC announces cuts

The CBC is cutting about 130 jobs across the country over the next three months, the Crown corporation said Wednesday. "As a result of some necessary changes with respect to resizing our business, a number of positions from within the organization will no longer be a part of our workforce come the end of the calendar year," Barbara Williams, CBC's executive vice-president of English services, said in a note to staff. In a separate note to staff, an official said that 58 positions across news, current affairs and local will be cut.
