BCE Inc. has ousted Bell Media president Kevin Crull three weeks after he intervened in news coverage at the company’s television stations.

The company announced Mr. Crull’s departure, effective immediately, as well as other executive appointments after markets closed on Thursday. In a statement, BCE chief executive George Cope thanked Mr. Crull for his work but also stressed the need to protect independence and trust in Bell Media’s news outlets, which include CTV, the country’s largest private broadcaster.
