WQLN layoffs begin

By Tom Lavery

Erie-Meadville: 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.)

To All at WQLN,

I began my career at WQLN TV back in 1971. The experience I gained at that station proved to be invaluable throughout my professional life. My thoughts go out to all who have worked to support this station over the years. The Erie, Pennsylvania area needs WQLN and I hope that the current situation is short-lived.
