Show Notes
Nexstar Media Groups cost-cutting measures ahead of its merger with Tegna result in layoffs of longtime journalists at KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, including weatherman Mark Kriski, midday anchors Lu Parker and Glen Walker, weathercaster Kacey Montoya, and reporter Ellina Abovian. The deal, worth $6.2 billion, would create the largest U.S. TV station owner. Viewers and colleagues express sadness, with Abovian feeling blindsided by the sudden corporate restructuring. SAG-AFTRA criticizes the cuts, warning of potential harm to local news quality, while President Trump supports the merger.
