Staff cuts have started to happen at Harris Broadcast – perhaps more properly “the company that will be called Harris Broadcast for less than three more years.”

SCRI reported in this fashion;

Harris Broadcast Cutting Staff

This is nothing new at Harris. In the days of operations headquartered in Quincy it was always possible to lay off staff and hire the same people back on a few months or a few years later. Is this and the departure of Dielectric the harbinger of the death of the broadcast industry? Does convergence imply that all that we used to receive on the “public airwaves” will now be delivered in some other fashion now that the same airwaves are the subject of auctions and sales?

Tune in after a few years – – – if you can.
