We have just learned some very bad news for seven well-known sports journalists from Radio-Canada.
Maxime Truman and Marc-André Lemieux report that Guy D'Aoust, Robert Frosi, Diane Sauvé, Philippe Crépeau, Jean St-Onge, Jean-François Chabot, and Michel Chabot have accepted enhanced severance packages and will leave their positions after the Paris Olympics.
Radio-Canada management is facing significant budgetary pressures, leading to these forced departures.
This situation mirrors similar difficulties faced by TVA Sports and highlights a broader crisis in the world of sports journalism.
