CBS is handing out pink slip presents company wide. Some say to help them focus more on their internet (ad)ventures. Why does that sound familiar. The Denver Post notes KCNC layoffs and so did the Denver Biz Journal

WFOR weekend producer leaving and heading for Ohio to get her Ph.D. and be journalism professor. And have normal life too.
Our wonderful weekend producer Sally Ann Cruikshank will be leaving us. Sally Ann will take the adventure I call her life to Ohio. She has received a Graduate Assistanceship at Ohio University in Athens where she will work on her Ph.D. to eventually become a journalism professor. In just a few years, we will have to call her Doctor Cruikshank. For the past two years Sally Ann has been a vital member of the CBS4 Newsroom. She has helped lead our weekend team… and has been an incredible asset to our Special Projects division. We will miss her tremendously but wish her the best in her new challenge. Her last day is April 3, so make sure you say goodbye!
There is some speculation as to how many exactly. some say 10 others say 15 or 30. 30 seems kind of high.
one tipster says Evan Bacon was fired this morning along with Curt Calhoun, a morning producer named Robin and “12 other people from upstairs”
update 6:35pm – someone dropped this in the chat. it’s the email from one of the producers Robin Cross cbs4 at broward bureau news desk
As I was told in my termination meeting today, times are tough and jobs are being eliminated. My job in the Broward Bureau has been eliminated. So I just wanted to take a moment and say good-bye to some really really wonderful co-workers in the Broward Bureau. I have learned so much from you over the past 6 years!! You have shown me that work can be fun and you CAN love what you do. I will remember us as a family. I didn’t get to work often in Miami but when I did i always went home feeling a little more knowledgeable and informed (and deaf from those scanners!!!). So, until … or if … or when … our paths meet again .. take care and good-bye.Robin~
update 11:50pm: Evan Bacon was freelance at channel 4. Curt Calhoun was WFOR’s chief photojournalist. Some of the other people fired were in sales. One tipster says the total is about 10. Some of those axed have worked at WFOR for 25 years. Another tipster says the cutbacks at CBS4 started with Christina Puig who also freelanced for the station.
Most of the tipsters do say that the cutback orders come from CBS and are company wide so we’ll probably see something similar happening at other CBS owned stations across the country
update 03:00: more tipsters dropping notes and info. below another email. tipster
As most of you know by now, today is my last day at WFOR-TV. After 30 ½ years, at the stations encouragement, I am moving on and looking forward to great things to come. I take with me many wonderful memories and friendships. I will cherish them always. Please stay in touch and thanks for everything. With Fond Memories, Dan Dan Roujansky
