KWCH Reductions

Thanks to the readers for the link to this story on the KWCH website. Five full time positions eliminated and 3 others being reduced to part-time. All remaining employees must take a week of unpaid leave. WOW. It says the reductions are spread among all departments. I will be curious to hear how it effects the news side of things. On one hand you can say it is a surprise the #1 rated station in town is doing this, however, Sunflower Broadcasting, the station's owners are heavily invested in newspapers and that side of the media industry is under more attack than even the television side at this point. -Hal
