Johnstown stations drop news depts

Post by genlock »

Johnstown Fox and ABC stations fired the news depts and some production crew as they contracted the news from WJAC-TV. They were losing money or just not making enough profit on the news.

Contracting the news "operation" to WJAC, featuring Pam Dennis as ND, late of WTOV. From reports I've heard, the WWCP operation wasn't much of one.

We also should note the NABET folks at WTRF have a contract expiring at the end of the year. Word on the street is that negotiations are expected to be difficult at best.
