CBC Lockout Is History - Workers Overwhelmingly Ratify Pact

From the still bare bones CBC itself:

CBC lockout to end as employees accept tentative deal

CBC employees have voted to accept their tentative deal with management, officially ending the labour dispute. The Canadian Media Guild said 3,514 ballots were cast and 88.4 per cent voted in favour of ratification.

Most of the CBC's 5,500 unionized workers are expected to head back to work on Tuesday. Some regular programming has already returned, including Saturday night's broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada.

------------

As noted below, Tuesday is the officially scheduled return day (Monday is a holiday, Canadian Thanksgiving), and some workers already returned to put on productions like Hockey Night in Canada on the TV side.

CBC English Radio will air a live national morning show from Montreal on Tuesday, and a live national afternoon show from Toronto that same day. Reports say local CBC Radio programming will likely be back to normal by Thursday or so.
