Scripps Swings the Ax in Salt Lake City

Sources tell FTVLive that Scripps rolled the Pink-Slip Express into Salt Lake City last week.

Word is that many staffers at KSTU were told their services were no longer needed. “More than a dozen people whacked.  From on-camera talent to longtime crew members to producers to part timers, they were all unceremoniously kicked to the curb,” said a station insider to FTVLive.

One staffer referred to it as “The Adam Symson Failure Tour.”

“When you total everyone’s service at the station, KSTU lost about 100 years of experience,” said our source, adding, “And to make everyone feel better, the station bought bagels and donuts.”
