20% of KET Workforce Could be Gone Soon

Employees at Kentucky Educational Television went around the offices Friday looking to see who remained.
On Thursday afternoon, 10 people were fired as part of the Lexington-based statewide network's efforts to balance its budget. Four other positions were eliminated by not filling vacancies, KET communications director Tim Bischoff said Friday.
The job cuts are part of efforts to make up for a reduction in state funding. Under the 2009 state budget, which begins July 1, state appropriations to KET were cut by 12 percent, to $13.24 million. KET's overall budget is $25.5 million.
