KAUZ gets shake-up, new management

I was with KAUZ when they had a newsroom shakeup in 1986 - several people lost their jobs in that one, and the news director (Lynn Walker) resigned to take the news director's job at Ch. 4 in Amarillo. That was not pleasant, and many of the folks who lost their jobs didn't deserve to. This, too, happened after a management change at the station. Why is it that management feels the need to lay people off when they take over, without taking the opportunity to see what kind of talent exists there? Is it just an ego thing?

The same type of situation exists in Abilene between Mission Broadcasting (KRBC) and Nexstar Broadcasting (KTAB), where KTAB manages KRBC and the two stations share news resources. In that town, I'm not sure three stations are necessary (they actually had five at one point, but the Telemundo and CW stations - both LPs - now reside on KTXS's digital subchannels. Oddly enough, the CW station carries the call sign "NTXS-TV").

Of course, I've seen some of KAUZ's news since I left waaaay back then, and I'm not sure KSWO's news management could do any worse.
