Major moves at CBC this month as Francis D’Souza leaves his CityNews post to join the public broadcaster as managing editor of news programming, Amanda Margison is named executive producer of CBC London and Brodie Fenlon announces his return, this time as deputy editor-in-chief and executive director.
I have some personal news to share. After the best 17 years of my life I have decided to leave @City_tv. Today is bittersweet. In late June I’ll be joining @CBCNews as Managing Editor of News Programming overseeing @CBCTheNational, @CBCWorldReport, @FrontBurnerCBC and others. pic.twitter.com/7qeAnPMVYs

Here are the rest of the media on the move from May 9 to 22:
Some personal news (that is not personal, and not really news, because not much will change): after a long while of doing special projects and jumping around the province, the municipal politics job at CBC British Columbia has been made permanent.
And, um, I'll be doing it.
