This is because the damage is significant enough to prohibit access for at least the next 12 months, it was communicated in an internal memo.
“Until the end of the work, we have put in place a plan which makes it possible to extend remote work for some and to offer certain employees more adequate workspaces in other Bell Media offices,” m ‘ was replied by email.
We actually moved the offices and certain decorative elements to the Île-des-Sœurs head office, in a wing of the Bell Campus which was unoccupied. These makeshift studios mean that several employees must work in the corridors, acceptable conditions but far from ideal.
Viewers see nothing but fire, in particular because we use a green screen, where virtual sets are superimposed, for all internal productions, whether for Noovo Info or for RDS and CTV broadcasts. .
If it was decided that the staff would not return to the building at 1755, boulevard René-Lévesque, the broadcaster planned to convert its building on Île-des-Sœurs into permanent offices and studios, I learned. Twelve to 18 months of work would then be necessary to create this new Bell Media house.
But we’re not there yet.

Bell management has so far been stingy with comments regarding the damage assessment.
Technical equipment, as well as company vehicles, were swept away by water during the disaster. With the gasoline and oil from the vehicles mixed with the water, we can imagine the importance of the decontamination that will have to be carried out in the building for possible reintegration of the premises.
The entire electrical system, ventilation, as well as the elevators must be redone. Condensation was also observed in the windows of the building up to the third floor.
On the other hand, the structure of the building itself was not affected.
As for the building opposite, housing the Bell Media radio stations, it was not affected by the flood, due to the fact that it is slightly higher.
LAWYERS LOVE PIZZA
The police officers of District 31 ate chicken, the lawyers ofIndefensible prefer pizza.
Many of you are irritated by the abundance of product placements in TVA’s daily newspaper, Indefensible.
Pizza, coffee, cars, brands on cups… all the characters, good and bad, only seem to buy their products in three stores!
I understand that we are in a period of television crisis and that we are having more and more difficulty financing our series, but this festival of plogues ends up undermining the credibility of a series followed every evening by more than a million of viewers.
This is also the case in Revolutionwhere brands of breads, grocery stores and workout products popt on our screens every Sunday. But it seems that it goes better in variety shows than in fiction.
Dear producers ofIndefensiblethink a little more about the subject, because it’s starting to seriously distract us from the plots of your series.
Either way, we’ll have to endure the pizza, because the season is already over. We will therefore have to wait until the fourth, not yet announced, to see the difference.
