A-News is cutting 118 jobs, and most news programming. That's 28 per cent of its workforce.
A-News Ottawa is expected to cut all of its newscasts, but will keep a morning show. I joked to someone that with those kinds of cuts the only reason to keep the station is to watch Ellen and Next Top Model; she replied it's a good place for CTV to air its primetime shows, which are getting good ratings there.
Just so we're clear, there's no longer any room for news at A. It's not a channel I watched for news, but they did provide local coverage. Any loss to community coverage is bad news.
