Head of Bell says Lisa LaFlamme’s departure not related to age, gender or grey hair
The head of Bell Media’s parent company says the decision to end Lisa LaFlamme’s contract had nothing to do with her age, gender or grey hair., says removing the longtime CTV National News anchor instead reflects massive changes to traditional broadcasting in Canada.
In a LinkedIn post, he says the days when viewers wait until 11 p.m. to get their news are gone and that change is necessary to ensure Bell Media can provide its journalists with the resources they need across all platforms where news is consumed. His post caps a week of growing fallout from LaFlamme’s ouster that saw Bell Media vice-president of news Michael Melling take a leave from his job.
