First Coronavirus Layoffs Hit TV Stations (Patreon)

It appears that the economic impact of the coronavirus has forced one TV station to start laying off staff. 

Two sources tell FTVLive that WPSD (Paducah, Kentucky) has chopped all part-time employees and has also laid off 4 full-time staffers. 

Insiders say that management told the employees that no one is buying ads right now and that the station needs to cut costs. 

Word is that the employees were told that the station intends to hire them back when things get better.  

I think we all hope that day is sooner than later.
