From the Isthmus

After losing $112,000 in funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Madison community radio station WORT-FM laid off two of its seven full-time staffers this week and is working to deal with what its board vice president called, in an email to volunteers, “a substantial deficit which is unsustainable.”

“We can no longer spend our reserves without replacement,” Tanya Graham, vice president of the WORT board wrote in her Nov. 10 email, obtained by Isthmus. “The board must act to ensure that WORT not only survives but thrives in the years and decades to come.”
