Harris Lays Off TV Employees

Harris Broadcast Communications let go 12 employees last week. Ten ex-employees were part of the Studio Products and Systems Business Unit. Employees in this Cincinnati unit design and integrate broadcast mobile production systems. Harris has focused on a range of mobile TV systems integration from small news vans to large trucks. The company is narrowing its focus to larger projects where it can offer the most value, according to a spokesperson.
The two other laid off employees were switchboard operators as the company installed an automated phone system.
