Corus Entertainment moves production of Global News newscasts in Calgary and Edmonton to a centralized hub, a change company representatives describe as part of broader programming and efficiency updates. Multiple outlets report that Corus is consolidating local control-room operations and shifting the production work for the Calgary and Edmonton editions to Toronto. The company says it remains committed to delivering local news in Alberta’s two largest cities, even as production arrangements change. The reporting also indicates that some jobs are affected, with sources describing job cuts, though the number of positions eliminated is not specified publicly. Corus frames the changes as a response to financial pressures, including slumping advertising revenue, and as part of an ongoing effort to adjust how Global News content is produced across Canada. The Globe and Mail notes that Corus links the centralization to programming changes nationwide intended to improve efficiency while continuing to produce journalism.
