Bell Media Exec Michael Melling Takes Leave After LaFlamme’s Exit

Bell Media’s vice president of news Michael Melling will be taking leave from the company following the exit of Lisa LaFlamme, according to an internal memo obtained by Global News.

In the memo, Karine Moses, senior vice president of content development and news, said Melling “has decided to leave from his current role effective immediately to spend time with his family.”

The news comes just weeks after LaFlamme, the long-time anchor of CTV National News announced she would be leaving the network. At the time, Bell Media said the move was a “business decision.”

As Quinn Ohler explains, it appears Melling’s leave may not have been voluntary.
