Three of Los Angeles’ longest-serving TV anchors were abruptly laid off Wednesday as corporate owner Nexstar slashed jobs at KTLA.

The cuts included longtime weekday morning meteorologist Mark Kriski and veteran midday anchors Glen Walker and Lu Parker, along with weathercaster Kacey Montoya and reporter Ellina Abovian, according to NewscastStudio.

The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring at Nexstar Media Group stations in Los Angeles and New York.

I've heard that another 10-15% of layoffs are coming around the corner. Our subscriber base keeps falling. I'd have to think this is accurate. What are other folks hearing?

Prairie Public Television has laid off 12 staff members as it begins its new fiscal year, cutting seven employees and eliminating five open positions, which amounts to about 18 percent of its workforce.

CEO John Harris said the move was necessary after Prairie Public lost about $2 million in annual revenue following federal funding cuts and reductions in the state budget. This amounted to a 25 percent decline in revenue.

Despite the cuts, Harris emphasized the organization’s commitment to keeping all transmitters online and continuing to serve North Dakota communities with the resources available.
