Carol Anne Meehan
Starting her journalism career in 1978, Meehan worked in television in stops across the country before joining then-CJOH’s supper hour news program as Max Keeping’s co-anchor in 1989. She reported live from Germany during the fall of the Berlin Wall, and travelled the country “bringing a unique perspective to the Capital’s number one news program,” according to her now-deleted CTV profile.
John Brenner
The morning business anchor and assistant news director signed off for the final time Tuesday, saying on Twitter, “Every day was an adventure. I will miss that and my colleagues. All good things.”
Lois Lee
With CTV Morning Live since December 2013, Lee “captivated viewers with her energetic personality and gave audiences an intimate look at the people, places and businesses that make this city such an amazing place to call home.”
Rick Gibbons
It was a homecoming of sorts when Gibbons joined the CFRA cast in 2012 after a lengthy tenure as publisher of the Ottawa Sun. A decade earlier, he had hosted the CFRA afternoon drive show. The 40-year journalism veteran served key roles with The United Way and the Chamber of Commerce.
Shelley McLean
Before taking on co-hosting duties on Madely in the Morning in 2001, McLean served for years as a field reporter, writer, producer and news anchor on CFRA. She joined the station in 1995.
Carolyn Waldo
As a double Olympic gold medalist in synchronized swimming, Montreal-born Waldo brought a “unique perspective” to the sports desk when she joined the CTV family in 1990. A recipient of the Order of Canada, Waldo was the first Canadian woman to win two gold medals at the same Olympic Games (Seoul, 1988) and was named the team’s flag-bearer. She served as colour commentator and a reporter at the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona.
Steve Madely
A 21-year run on CFRA made Steve Madely a household name in Ottawa. Madely abruptly and unexpectedly announced his retirement from broadcasting on Monday. “It’s hard to imagine CFRA starting the day without Steve Madely as the morning show host,” said Richard Gray, Bell Media vice-president. “Steve will definitely be greatly missed.”

CTV co-anchor, CFRA hosts laid off in Bell Media job cuts

Longtime CTV Ottawa viewers took their outrage to social media Tuesday after "iconic" news anchor Carol Anne Meehan and sports reporter Carolyn Waldo were among the casualties of a massive round of layoffs.
Some called for a boycott of the station, while others said they were "stunned" and "disgusted" by the decision, with parent company Bell Media slashing as many as 20 positions from the city's media landscape as part of a large-scale corporate restructuring.
As of late Tuesday, the media giant had not acknowledged any of the cuts, with 270 positions in Toronto and a further 110 in Montreal on the chopping block, according to reports.
After 27 years connecting with her viewers on-air, Meehan said she would have loved to have said goodbye to those who trusted her with delivering the news.
"I'm going to miss (the viewers) terribly. I'm really sad I never got a chance to say goodbye. I never said anything to them," she told the Sun on Tuesday.
She was given the news, but then left immediately, not even saying farewell to her longtime colleagues.
"I was too emotional. I just left, took my pictures of my kids off my desk and that was it."
Meehan's image was abruptly removed from the CTV Ottawa News masthead -- where she had appeared next to co-anchor Graham Richardson, and before that alongside the late Max Keeping -- and her profile was deleted from the website Tuesday afternoon.
While Meehan was the highest-profile personality to fall victim to sweeping company-wide cuts, others well-known to local television and radio audiences were also let go.
Carolyn Waldo, who spent 25 years as a CTV sports reporter, was also laid off, according to sources, and Waldo's profile and picture was likewise removed from the website Tuesday.
CTV Morning Live reporter Lois Lee was also among the cuts, later taking to Twitter to thank the station and her colleagues for the "awesome run."
Local talk radio station 580 CFRA suffered a similar fate, with an internal company memo saying 15 positions were eliminated in the Ottawa market and an additional five positions trimmed through attrition.
One day after long-serving CFRA morning show host Steve Madely announced his sudden, and unexpected retirement, hosts Rick Gibbons and Shelley McLean were each handed their pink slips.
Gibbons, former publisher of the Ottawa Sun, joined the radio broadcast team in October 2012, hosting The Lunch Bunch and The Homepage.
Gibbons said laid off staffers were called one-by-one into the "departure lounge" Tuesday morning.
"I just really enjoyed telling people's stories," said Gibbons, who recently celebrated 40 years in journalism. "I was just pleased to have lasted that long in an industry that is facing challenges. It's been a great run."
McLean, who most recently co-hosted Madely in the Morning, had worked at the station as a host, reporter, news anchor, writer and producer over a 20-year tenure, starting at the station in September 1995.
McLean's CFRA account was deleted Tuesday, with the final entries on Monday bidding a fond farewell to the retiring Madely.
Assistant news director John Brenner, afternoon news reader Sean Connolly, and producer Mike Murphy are also among those let go Tuesday, according to sources.
An internal memo sent from Bell Media president Mary Anne Turcke, obtained by the Sun, says "all departing employees will be treated with respect and sincere appreciation for their contributions to the company."
More cuts can be expected through the end of the month, according to the memo.
"As we continue with the final phase of our restructuring, there will be further departures at Bell Media beginning (Tuesday) and continuing on a building-by-building basis through much of November," the memo states.
Reaction on social media was scathing.
The Ottawa Newspaper Guild called it a "sad day" in the city, losing two "iconic" news anchors.
Local viewers and listeners did not take the news well, with some calling for a boycott of Bell Media stations, with many expressing their disgust over the decision, and others vowing to tune out.
On CTV Ottawa's Facebook page, viewer Peter Walsworth called Meehan's departure "an insult to the community that sees her as part of our family."

最后编辑:
"Longtime CTV Ottawa viewers took their outrage to social media..., Some called for a boycott of the station". Just because these guys all go to social media, TV station lost advertising revenue and have to have the massive layoffsto survive. Bell media is not CBC which can get government funding from taxation.
