WETA, the public television station based in Washington, D.C., will end broadcasts of “PBS News Weekend” and shut down the “News Hour West” bureau as part of a restructuring effort driven by reduced federal funding.
The changes, reported by The Current, will eliminate 34 positions, following a separate round of 21 staff reductions in September.
The latest cuts affect technical, editorial, administrative and corporate support services. They do not impact the weekday “PBS News Hour” or “Washington Week with The Atlantic”.
The final broadcast of “PBS News Weekend” is scheduled for Jan. 11.
