In a statement, BCE president and CEO
Earlier this year, BCE announced it was closing or selling nine radio stations as the company planned to “significantly adapt” how it delivers the news and cut 1,300 positions — including a six per cent reduction at Bell Media.
Oosterman said in a memo to staff at the time that Bell Media faces "strong economic and inflationary pressures, a pullback in advertisers’ budgets, and a challenging regulatory environment that has been too slow to adjust."
Cohan, who will also serve as an executive officer to BCE, spent 15 years at A+E Networks including as president of international and digital media, and most recently was chief growth officer and president at Nielsen, a global measurement and data analytics company.
