Tegna’s ABC10 in Sacramento was reportedly hit very hard with layoffs this week.
Sources tell the National Academy of Arts and Sciences SF/NorCal Chapter the station had all its marketing and creative team members cut. Additionally, a meteorologist, special projects photographer and all the directors at the station were let go.
Newscast Studio reports that Tegna is restructuring its television station marketing operations, establishing seven regional marketing hubs while eliminating 100s of local marketing positions across its stations.
The broadcast group, which operates 64 television stations in 51 markets, announced the reorganization through an internal memo from Chief Operating Officer Lynn Beall. The new structure will consolidate marketing operations previously managed at individual stations.
