Sad as a Peacock

We’re told by friends at NBC30 that 8 full time staffers have been laid off (producers, promotions, receptionist, payroll, master control). Members of the photographers’ union were all offered buyouts and they will hear next. ” We’re expecting big talent cuts too (probably when contracts are up but maybe sooner to get salaries off the books).”

  1. If Gerry Brooks, Lisa Carberg, resigned they probably would have had enough money for all those people to keep there jobs.

    Also, why does the news director still have his job? 30 has been doing poorly in the ratings and he should be canned.

    Also, what is the point of them having an assistant news director?

  2. Dear Bob,

    Your grasp on the business is so astute, all I can say is…

    What? I can’t say that on The Laurel? Damn.

    OK then, Bob, read my mind. Feeling ill? Good, it’s working.

    Sincerely, Gerry

  3. Gerry,

    Maybe if you got decent ratings your pay would make sense.
