TORONTO - CTV says it made an error by placing an offensive image of actress Delta Burke in blackface among its TV program highlights for Black History Month.
A spokesman for the broadcaster says the blackface picture, taken from an episode of 1980s hit Designing Women, is one that should not have been used in any context.

TORONTO Bell Media, one of Canada’s largest operators of terrestrial radio, TV and broadcast music channels, has cut hundreds of jobs in a new round of layoffs that the company says is a move to streamline operations and focus more on technology and other content investments.
At least 210 employees have been laid off according to the
Canadian Press, citing numbers from private sector union Unifor, which represents 315,000 workers across Canada, including those with Bell. Bell would not confirm the number.
