TORONTO – Rogers Media is eliminating 4% of its workforce starting next month.

A Rogers’ spokesperson confirmed to Cartt.ca on Monday that approximately 200 positions will be impacted, primarily in its conventional TV, radio, and publishing divisions, as well as some back-office positions.

“We have identified cost efficiencies in production, operations and procurement, and have made the difficult decision to reduce headcount”, reads the emailed response.  “This was not an easy decision, but was right for our business long-term.  While difficult, these changes are essential to delivering on our Rogers 3.0 plan and to position us for continued success and future growth while helping us effectively manage costs.”
