CBC closing P.A. bureau; local coverage to come from Saskatoon
Shrinking federal budgets for the CBC are hitting home in Prince Albert.
The CBC will no longer have a video journalist stationed in the city as of next week, paNOW has learned.
“We’ll cover Prince Albert and the central and northern part of Saskatchewan, primarily from Saskatoon,” said John Bertrand, CBC’s senior managing director of the prairie north region.
Once Prince Albert’s CBC bureau closes, only Saskatoon and Regina will have CBC offices. About five years ago, La Ronge lost its CBC station as well.
