CBC News is shutting down the Calgary unit of its 24-hour Newsworld television service as of the end of May, and introducing additional positions for newsgathering, the public broadcaster said Thursday.
Staff in Calgary were told that the decision will result in 32 redundancies.
However, 25 new positions — largely reporters, camera operators and other field production posts — will be created in Calgary and Edmonton as part of an ongoing attempt by CBC News to boost newsgathering and local coverage by putting more "feet on the street."
The two hours of programming Calgary's Newsworld unit produced each weekday will be shifted to the Toronto bureau.
