Bruno Cohen, president of Channel 13 and its sister station Channel 31, said Thursday that Channel 13 is letting employees go. He declined to state the number of workers affected.
Cohen said the layoffs are "the consequence of new technology" that allows for more automation of production and editing.
The result, he added, will be mostly "invisible" to viewers of the CBS affiliate. The only on-air change will be to the two half-hour editions of "The Sports Show," which currently air at 11 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Those shows will be folded into Channel 13's 10 p.m. weekend newscasts, airing in 15-minute segments from 10:45 p.m. to 11 p.m., Cohen said.
