Gillian Findlay

Gillian Findlay has left the CBC after more than 30 years. Findlay, who most recently had hosted and reported for the fifth estate, started her career as a reporter with CBC Vancouver. That was followed by stints at The Journal and The National and a one-year engagement with the fifth estate, during which she helped make the case for David Milgard’s innocence and eventual pardon. In 1991, she was named CBC London correspondent, covering Europe and Africa, including wars in the former Yugoslavia and Persian Gulf, famine in Somalia and historic elections in South Africa in 1994. That same year, she was recruited by ABC News as Moscow correspondent and in 1997 she was appointed ABC’s Middle East correspondent. She returned to Canada and CBC in 2002. Findlay wrote in a post to social media that “a discussion over remote work became a dispute about equal treatment,” prompting her departure from the public broadcaster.

Moira Wyton

Moira Wyton has joined CBC Vancouver as a reporter and associate producer. Wyton arrives from The Tyee where she’s been the publication’s health reporter for the past three years.

Mathieu Gohier

Mathieu Gohier joins Radio-Canada in Quebec City as a Parliamentary Correspondent covering Quebec’s National Assembly. Gohier, who has been with the public broadcaster since 2012, was previously the French-language network’s national reporter, based in Edmonton.

Joe Perkins

She continued to work for the company while studying at BCIT with The Peak (CKPK-FM) and JR Country (CJJR-FM) Vancouver in promotions.    

 

RADIO & PODCAST:

CBC Podcasts’ Run, Hide, Repeat, based on former CBC journalist Pauline Dakin’s memoir, has won Gold (Best Personal Lives Podcast) at the New York Festivals Radio Awards. Tom Power’s interview with Bono on CBC Radio’s ‘q’ also won Gold for Best Interview, while Radio-Canada podcast Immersion Rwanda and music program Minotan! secured Gold for Best Narrative/Documentary Podcast and Best Regularly Scheduled Music Program, respectively.  The public broadcaster claimed another five Silver Awards and six Bronze, while Toronto’s JAZZ.FM91 (CJRT-FM) won Bronze for Best Jazz Format.

Cabin Radio wants the Federal Court of Appeal to hear its case, following the CRTC’s denial of the Yellowknife online radio station’s application for an FM licence. The station’s appeal says the commission’s February decision was “unreasonable, incorrect, and arbitrary due to errors of law, jurisdiction, and fact.” The decision maintained the addition of another FM  station in the market would financially harm the only other commercial station, Vista Radio’s CJCD-FM, which has experienced an ongoing decline in revenues. Cabin Radio argues the CRTC did not follow the Broadcasting Act requirement to regulate the system in a manner that serves to “enrich and strengthen the culture, political, social and economic fabric” and encourage the development of Canadian expression. In the meantime, the station has reapplied and requested the two-year moratorium on such reapplications be lifted. 

The CRTC has denied an application from Alberta Indigenous radio station The Raven (CIWE-FM) to install a full-power retransmitter in Fort McMurray. The station is operated by the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta (AMMSA), a not-for-profit Indigenous communications society that is the licensee of CIWE-FM Edmonton and CJWE-FM Calgary, and CFWE-FM-4 which distributes its signal via satellite to 35 FM rebroadcasting transmitters serving isolated or underserved Indigenous communities in Alberta. The commission says the AMMSA application failed to demonstrate “that the service had a connection with and was of interest to the community to be served.” CIWE-FM showcases Indigenous contemporary, rock, pop, blues, and hip-hop artists, in addition to other programming which it says would have been aimed at Fort McMurray’s urban Indigenous populations living off reserve.

Red Robinson, who passed away April 1 at age 86, had a posthumous send off Sunday afternoon at the Commodore Ballroom with hundreds of Vancouver media personalities showing up to pay tribute.

A public event is being planned for August for friends and fans who didn’t get a chance to pay tribute. Read Phil Mackesy’s personal tribute to Robinson here.

The Sonar Network has welcomed viral TikTok sensation Emily Rose’s It’s Become a Whole Thing to its independent podcast network. In the show, Montreal-based Rose offers a look at the best and worst moments of unscripted TV history, from cult documentaries to trashy early 2000s reality shows. Billed as a “high-brow analysis of the low-brow trash we love,” Rose weaves together analysis of the most vapid and addictive elements of pop culture with intelligent social commentary. The podcast joins Sonar ahead of the launch of Rose’s highly-anticipated book, The Stuff I Hate, a positivity journal published by Simon & Schuster, set for release on April 25.

SIGN OFFS:

Mark Byington

Mark Byington, 93, on April 8. Byington began his 23-year broadcasting career in 1951 when, on a dare, he auditioned at CJAT Trail, BC. He was hired and from there went on to CKOV Kelowna, CJIB Vernon, CFCN and CFAC Calgary, CHAT, radio and TV in Medicine Hat, and CFRN radio and TV in Edmonton. Over the years, Byington held positions from chief announcer to assistant sports director, radio and television newscaster, and provincial affairs reporter. Among his career highlights was covering the first-ever televised Premiers Conference in Ottawa in 1971. He moved on from broadcasting in 1974 to work briefly as the Public Relations Director for the Alberta Social Credit Party, followed by a 14-year run with the Alberta government.

Dennis Gerein, 77, on March 8. Gerein started his radio career as a duty announcer in CKXR Salmon Arm, BC in 1968. Within two years, he was hosting the morning show and pursuing his dual passions for play-by-play sports and sales, soon becoming the station’s top biller. From there, he went to CKGY Red Deer in sales in 1972 and then CKIQ in Kelowna in 1974 to do sales and play-by-play. In 1976, Gerein was off to CKLQ in Brandon for a new station launch in the role of General Sales Manager. 1981 was the year Gerein’s many talents and passion for radio truly shone when Bob Hall and Walter Gray (Four Seasons Radio) asked him to return to BC to manage CJAT Trail, a station added to the Salmon Arm/Kelowna group. Then, in 1985, Four Seasons purchased CKKC Nelson and CFKC Creston where Gerein and his team of young broadcasters created the Kootenay Broadcasting System (KBS) and became an early pioneer in network radio and split cart commercials. For many, KBS was a first job after BCIT and at one point, in the ’90s, seven news directors in B.C. were KBS alumni. In 1995, Four Seasons turned to Gerein to lead CKIQ Kelowna and launch Kelowna’s first country radio station, The Bullet, before completing his career back in the Kootenays leading CKGF/CKQR and Boundary Kootenay Radio (BKR). He retired in 2005. Gerein was an industry builder, serving 10 years as a BCAB director, including six of those years as convention chair. Read more here.

ONLINE & DIGITAL MEDIA:

CBC/Radio-Canada has joined NPR and PBS in pausing its activities on Twitter after the platform placed a “government-funded media” label on the public broadcaster’s account, which was later changed to “69% government-funded media.” In a blog post, CBC News Editor-in-Chief Brodie Fenlon wrote “CBC/Radio-Canada has made the case to Twitter that the label should be dropped or changed, as recently occurred with the BBC. Until then, the pause will remain in effect.” By Twitter’s own definition, its government-funded media label reflects news outlets “where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content.” CBC received $1.24 billion in government funding in the 2022 fiscal year.

Jury members cited the environmental online not-for-profit’s success at ensuring its revenue supported its goals, along with the careful planning that went into ensuring the Ontario expansion would be sustainable.
