Rogers Communications Inc.’s media division said Monday it is cutting about 200 jobs, primarily in "conventional TV, radio, publishing, and back-office positions."
In an emailed statement, Andrea Goldstein, senior director of communications, said the company has “identified cost efficiencies in production, operations and procurement, and [has] made the difficult decision to reduce headcount.”
The layoffs, which represent about four per cent of Rogers Media staff, will begin in February.
She said in the email that "the media industry continues to experience significant pressures from a softening advertising market, fierce competition from global players, and shifting audience consumption habits."
