Layoffs hit KSBY in SLO as parent company downsizes nationwide

KSBY was a part of nationwide layoffs as its parent company eliminated over 430 positions amid a companywide transformation. But its unclear how many jobs were lost here or exactly what they were. In total, the NBC affiliate’s parent company E.W. Scripps Co. laid off 431 employees while also creating more than 100 new positions in its local newsrooms focused on field reporting and community connection, regional general manager Lisa Moore told The Tribune on Monday. “These were difficult decisions, and we’re grateful to the colleagues whose roles were eliminated,” Moore wrote in an email. “We’re committed to supporting them through the transition.” KSBY was among the Scripps stations affected by the layoffs, but Moore did not share the number of positions eliminated in the newsroom. The affected roles in San Luis Obispo were tied to traditional newscast production and station operations, not on-air anchor or reporter positions, she said. The mass layoffs were a part of Scripps’ companywide transformation to adapt broadcast, streaming and digital news formats. Most changes will happen behind the scenes, Moore said, with a new operating model and automation that will allow KSBY journalists to update stories throughout the day on broadcast, streaming, digital and

SLO County could face a $16 million budget deficit next year. Here's why

San Luis Obispo County is projected to face another multi-million budget gap next year, but uncertainty at the state and federal levels makes it difficult to predict the exact severity of the impending deficit. Assuming all current services are maintaining, the funding gap next year is estimated to be around $15.9 million — but it could range from as low as $11 million to as high as $20 million, according to the county’s fiscal year 2027-28 and multi-year financial forecast. The financial forecast is a point-in-time estimate that remains in flux and carries “a higher-than-usual level of uncertainty,” according to the staff report . “We always want to show that the forecast sensitivity cannot be understated,” SLO County’s assistant chief executive officer Lisa Howe said at the Nov. 3 Board of Supervisors meeting, adding that even a 1% change "can greatly impact the gap to the good or bad.” Howe said there are a variety of state, federal and external risks that will affect the county’s future finances. She pointed to HR 1, or the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as the “most significant” factor, since it impacts CalFresh administration, medical eligibility and the amount of demand for county-funded indigent

KSBY layoffs and a new look for a longtime gym. Today's top stories

The Tribune covered five major developments across San Luis Obispo County on Nov. 10, 2026, from newsroom layoffs to Cal Poly’s revised campus plans. Here’s a quick look at the top stories: KSBY layoffs: KSBY was among the Scripps stations hit by nationwide layoffs , as parent company E.W. Scripps Co. eliminated 431 positions while creating more than 100 new roles focused on field reporting. Regional general manager Lisa Moore said the affected San Luis Obispo roles were tied to traditional newscast production and station operations, not on-air positions.

Grubman and Sheela Hilton added fresh paint, refurbished equipment and a new posing room, and had 200 members by the fifth day of operation. Ambulance response times: Templeton Fire Chief Tom Peterson wants to add paramedics to fire engines after finding that ambulances take more than 20 minutes to reach some emergencies roughly 80 times a year.
