Quebecor Media Group said Wednesday it will cut 220 jobs, or about eight per cent of its workforce, as the company restructures.

The cuts will affect mainly managers, professionals and administrative support staff, the company said.

TVA Group, Quebecor Media's main subsidiary, will cut 125 positions, but the company said there will no impact on its newsrooms or on news coverage across Quebec.

"In Quebec as elsewhere in the world, our industry is facing ongoing disruption," said Julie Tremblay, the president and CEO of Quebecor Media Group and TVA Group Inc.

"We have therefore taken a number of initiatives over the past two years to adapt to the changes, including the creation of Quebecor Media Group, an integrated media company, and the acquisition and sale of various properties," Tremblay said in a news release.

"Today it is clear that we must continue our transformation in order to further adjust structural costs and become more agile."

As part of the restructuring, TVA Publications will cease publication of two magazines — CHEZ SOI and Tellement bon — to focus on others brands.
