Car crash slows traffic on Highway 101 through SLO County

Northbound traffic was slow on Highway 101 in San Luis Obispo County after a multi-vehicle crash on Friday afternoon.

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.
