Two more cuts have been made....

Okay, these layoffs are going crazy. I am well aware of the fact that we are in the midst of a recession. But itseems to me like TWC was just fine on its own before it was bought by NBC. After NBC Universal bought TWC, layoffs sspiked at TWC. I thought Jorma was okay, but not somebody worth cutting. Tetiana is okay, but not somebody worth keeping. I too think Julie is on the verge of becoming an OCM, since I have not seen her report a great distance from the ATL in a while.

The NBC buyout and the worsening of the recession practically went hand-in-hand, so it's hard to say what would have happened otherwise. If Landmark still owned the network, I have a feeling that layoffs still would have happened, but it might be worse now with NBC since they can incorporate their own resources into filling the gaps left behind by the people being laid off.

And honestly, I was never a fan of NBC's reporters so the future of TWC doesn't look good. Maybe if the economy improves TWC may have the money to buy itself out.

Not sure why TWC would do that. Their sale to NBC had absolutley nothing to do with the economy.

You're right, it obviously didn't. There is also no single answer here. It was just a trend I noticed that layoffs drastically increased since NBC bought out TWC, but it could just be a strange coincidence.

Nobody. It doesn't exist.

[Mike M]

Forecast Earth is discontinued. Almost everyone who was involved in it was laid off.

Where did you hear that? I am not surprised he got a new job, but I never heard about that.

Okay, these layoffs are going crazy. I am well aware of the fact that we are in the midst of a recession. But it seems to me like TWC was just fine on its own before it was bought by NBC. Not long after NBC Universal bought TWC, layoffs spiked at TWC. I thought Jorma was okay, but not somebody worth cutting. Tetiana is okay, but not somebody worth keeping. I too think Julie is on the verge of becoming an OCM, since I have not seen her report a great distance from the ATL in a while.
