Evan Solomon fired by CBC News in wake of alleged secret art deals

'I did not view the art business as a conflict with my political journalism at the CBC,' Solomon says

CBC News has "ended its relationship" with Power & Politics host Evan Solomon, CBC editor in chief Jennifer McGuire said in a note to staff.

The note came after the Toronto Star published a report claiming that Solomon had brokered art deals involving people whom he also dealt with as a journalist.

Solomon, who came to CBC as a host in 1994, also hosted the radio show The House, which looks at political issues of the week.

"We will be making announcements about the interim hosting of these programs in the next few days," the note said.

Carmel Smyth, national president of the Canadian Media Guild, could not offer specifics, but said, "We are working with Mr. Solomon as he considers his options." Smyth said CBC's collective agreement provides people the "right to work outside of the CBC and to be paid for it, and many people do."

CBC host Evan Solomon fired after Star investigation finds he took secret cut of art deals

CBC journalist facilitated sales of art to wealthy Canadians he dealt with in his job โ€” including one buyer who had no idea Solomon was collecting a commission.

CBC has fired marquee host Evan Solomon after the Star reported that he was taking secret commission payments related to art sales involving people he dealt with as a host.

โ€œI regret to inform you that CBC News has ended its relationship with Evan Solomon,โ€ executive Jennifer McGuire said in a brief statement issued late Tuesday, a day after the Star presented the findings of its investigation to the network.

Solomon, 47, was the Ottawa-based host of Power and Politics on television and The House on CBC radio, and had been one of the people touted to replace Peter Mansbridge on The National when the veteran newsman retires.

The Star found Solomon had been brokering the sale of paintings and masks owned by a flamboyant Toronto-area art collector to rich and famous buyers. Solomon, in at least one case, took commissions in excess of $300,000 for several pieces of art and did not disclose to the buyer that he was being paid fees for introducing buyer and seller.

The CBC had taken Solomon off the air Monday pending an investigation โ€œover the next couple of days.โ€ That move came after the Star presented the CBC with the results of its probe of Solomon.

The network severed its relationship with Solomon on Tuesday without further explanation. McGuire, general manager and editor in chief of CBC News and Centres, said in the statement that the network would โ€œbe making announcements about the interim hosting of these programs in the next few days.โ€
