I thought it was pretty stable. But I bring the layoff curse.
I think they last time they did a major layoff was in like 1996. The whole industry is suffering right now.
At "the big meeting" we were shown some stats, and I guess local broadcast stations are just bleeding viewers. They're all going to cable. A competitor just did a smaller layoff last week too, and closed their job openings.
The folks in the actual tv production part are fairly safe (though I think some camera people and on-air talent were let go), but the web and graphics ppl were considered expendable.

Ulgh. Option B. Friday I cleaned house. Yesterday I had to work on the boat. Today I have to get the gear ready for camping.
We actually had two vacations already planned -- camping this weekend, and mexico in june -- and we're going to try and follow through on both. Especially the mexico trip, since we already purchased airfare and accomodations.

Yeah I remember when that happened. I know it will be for the best. But right now it kinda sucks.
