News stations are being taken over by their competition. The Republicans have started allowing a few rich owners to take over all the news outlets we get.
The biggest names were anchors Gina Marinelli and Vince Bevacqua. They will remain behind their desks through next week, and then anchor duties for WYTV newscasts will fall to Angee Shaker, who is being retained, and perhaps others.
Other workers who were told they won't be needed past Dec. 9 include photographers, technicians and other behind-the-scenes workers. Two WYTV reporters said they were being retained, but it wasn't clear if all reporters would be needed.
David Coy, general manager of WKBN, said the two stations' newscasts would have separate identities. They would have different anchors, and news reports would not be shared — at least not initially.
He and David Trabert, general manager at WYTV, wouldn't say, however, how jobs are being cut or how many workers WKBN would need. Each station employs about 70.
