Slawko Klymkiw, executive director of network programming for CBC Television since 1996, is stepping down at the end of the month. His next move is as yet unknown. EVP Richard Stursberg has asked Eva Czigler to step up to the plate as acting executive director of network programming. Czigler has worked closely with Klymkiw for many years, so Stursberg says he hopes this will ease the transition.
Stursberg says Klymkiw has maintained and grown audiences for CBC. He championed such successful programming as Canada: A People’s History and Trudeau. Klymkiw was with the CBC for 25 years.
