KION-TV, a Salinas-based station serving Monterey, Salinas and Santa Cruz, abruptly ended local news operations after 56 years and will air KPIX Bay Area newscasts starting at 5 p.m. the same day. More than a dozen news employees, including anchors, producers and other staff, were immediately laid off; many learned of the layoffs during a morning meeting or from coworkers' texts and calls.
