Kentucky Educational Television last week (Sept. 9) laid off 13 employees,
the Lexington Herald-Leader is reporting. Network spokesperson Tim Bischoff declined to identify the employees. The paper said KET's full-time staff is now 152, down from 223 during fiscal 2008. "That's clearly left some voids in very critical positions," he said. Bischoff noted that KET operating revenue has declined from from $27.8 million in fiscal 2008 to a projected $23 million for fiscal 2011. In that same time, state general funds to KET have fallen from $15 million to $12 million.
