Radio-Canada’s GM leaving “by mutual agreement”

Radio-Canada Television’s general manager, Mario Clément, is leaving the Corporation.

In a brief news release, Radio-Canada said the “decision was reached by mutual agreement between Mr. Clément and Radio-Canada management.”

Mario Clément joined Radio-Canada as General Manager of Programs in May 2003. He later became General Manager of Télévision de Radio-Canada in November 2006. Mario is “a passionate devotee to the cause of public television,” Radio-Canada said.

Clément’s departure will not result in changes to the TV schedule, the structure and content of the 2008–2009 season have been decided for several weeks now.

The head of French services, Sylvain Lafrance, I will assume Mr. Clément’s duties until a new General Manager is appointed.
