Bert Medina — the president of WPLG, a TV station in Miami — has a policy of meeting every new employee that comes into the building. Recently, that’s meant a lot of handshakes. Amid mass media-job losses over the past year and increases in network television licensing fees that have been mounting for a while longer, WPLG has, since last spring, made 60 new hires.
The growth has come as a direct result of WPLG’s decision, in August, to cut ties with ABC, with which it’s been affiliated since going on the air, 69 years ago.
