A petition urging Bell Media to reconsider its decision to axe CTV’s Ottawa co-anchor Carol Anne Meehan had reached more than 11,600 signatures by Wednesday night.
Meehan was laid off Tuesday in a swath of job cuts at Bell-owned CTV and radio station CFRA, and at other stations across the country.
She had been at the TV station for almost 27 years.
Also fired was longtime sportscaster and Olympic gold medallist Carolyn Waldo, who had been at CJOH/CTV for almost 26 years.
Bell Media refuses to say how many people it laid off at the two outlets.
While Meehan’s firing has drawn the most attention, and a tsunami of viewer anger, many of those let go were behind-the-scenes employees, including a married couple in sales at CTV Ottawa.
