WQLN layoffs begin
June 16, 2009
With drastic cuts in the state budget for Public broadcasting, WQLN is following the trend of commercial stations with layoffs. Today, 5 employees were let go including the chief engineer, TV program director and three others. The station will also begin weekly furloughs for remaining employees. If funding is not restored, more job cuts can be expected. (Note: Tom Lavery is an employee of WQLN Public Media.)
