Anticipating that its state funding will be cut, if not eliminated entirely, West Virginia Public Broadcasting plans to lay off 15 employees by the end of the month, Executive Director Scott Finn told the House Finance Committee on Wednesday. “We know something is coming, and we have to get ahead of it,” Finn said. He said afterward that the Educational Broadcasting Authority has a special meeting set for March 15 to approve the elimination of 20 of WVPB’s 70.5 budgeted full-time positions. EBA members discussed the cuts behind closed doors on March 1, but did not take action on them. Finn said five of the 20 positions are already vacant, and he hopes the 15 layoffs can be achieved through voluntary separations. - See more at: www.wvgazettemail.com/news-politics/20170308/wv-public-broadcasting-to-lay-off-workers-#sthash.UilqmGCp.dpuf
