GBH has announced layoffs affecting roughly 10 employees from its WORLD Channel as part of a shift in programming strategy. The network will steer away from original documentaries to focus on exclusive series and international newscasts. This change comes amid financial pressures exacerbated by insufficient station fees and donations, although CEO Susan Goldberg insisted the layoffs were not a direct response to federal funding concerns. These adjustments will take effect on July 1, coinciding with the end of PBS member stations' licensing term.
GBH's decision to cut about 10 staff members is part of a new programming strategy focusing on financial sustainability, not influenced by the proposed federal funding cuts.
Susan Goldberg emphasized that the changes, including layoffs, were not directly a result of the federal funding debate, highlighting ongoing financial challenges prior to the current political situation.
