Charmaine Khan is a spokesperson for CityNews, a Rogers Sports and Media property. In April 2026, she issued the only official CityNews statement on the firing of Queen's Park reporter Tina Yazdani: "Tina is no longer with CityNews, and we don't share details on individual employee matters." She also attributed story removal decisions to an "editorial standards review" without further explanation.
Connected Scandals
CityNews Queen's Park reporter Tina Yazdani was fired without explanation in April 2026 — days after a confrontational on-camera exchange with Education Minister Paul Calandra, and after at least two of her Ford government stories were quietly deleted from the Rogers-owned network's website in apparent violation of Rogers' own editorial standards.
As CityNews spokesperson, Khan issued the sole official statement on Yazdani's firing and attributed deleted stories to an "editorial standards review" — without specifying what editorial standards were violated or why no corrections or retractions were published in accordance with Rogers' stated editorial policy.
