Roma Khanna, SVP of content for CHUM Television, will part ways with the company on Friday, following its takeover by CTVglobemedia and the subsequent selling off of its five Citytv stations to Rogers Media. Her departure comes one week after CHUM president and CEO Jay Switzer announced he was stepping down.
‘The result of this splitting of our company is that my job no longer exists,’ said Khanna in a Tuesday e-mail to colleagues and friends.
Khanna, who had been with the company for four years, oversaw all of CHUM Television’s domestic and international content creation, in addition to program acquisitions and distribution efforts, since 2005. Previously, she headed up CHUM Interactive, where she was responsible for new media and cross-platform content initiatives for CHUM radio and television.
‘While other opportunities with CTVglobemedia did exist, we have decided that there isn’t anything that meets their needs while still being as exciting for me as what I was doing before,’ Khanna said.
