Layoffs at WLFI-TV

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/26/2000 7:00:00 PM

Seventeen full- and part-time employees at WLFI-TV Lafayette, Ind., have lost their jobs in a consolidation that has seemed inevitable since WISH-TV Indianapolis-owner LIN TV took over the nearby station in April. Although WLFI-TV is in a separate market it is only miles away from Indianapolis. The terminations end Mike Piggott's 16-year career at the station, which included stints as news director and general manager, although LIN regional Vice President Scott Blumenthal said LIN is "leaving the door open on a future relationship with Mike."
