Belo to Cut 150 Jobs, Salaries
By Erik Even | Dated: 03-11-2009
Television station owner Belo will cut 150 jobs, reduce some employee salaries by 5%, and suspend its 401(k) matching contributions.The salary reduction will affect employees who are part of the Dallas-based company’s management-compensation programs. The suspension of the 401(k) matching will apply to all employees.
Belo, which owns 20 television stations, said the layoffs will take effect in mid-April.
Belo’s revenue fell more than 5% in 2008 as higher Internet revenue failed to offset advertising declines.
In response, the company initiated a hiring freeze, reduced staff in some markets and took other cost-cutting steps last year.
