Taking the cheap way out. Fewer jocks, more multi-location voice tracking.
Houston, We're dealing with morons!.

Too bad...tough enough in bigger markets... small markets just couldn't sell in a pandemic. More victims of the virus, not to suggest Bell wouldn't have gone this way regardless.

Are we just inventing a bunch of layoffs that went with this?

Simply part of a national rebranding exercise for mostly small market stations, it's just easier and cheaper to image & create promotional materials for one cohesive brand than a variety of regional offerings. And let's face it, the old EZ-Rock branding was well past its best-before date. Same with the BOB FM stations in Manitoba, The Dock's in Ontario and the random animals that were suppose to represent something (Bear, Fox).
