It is unlikely that viewers will notice any change on their screens, but the job of monitoring the schedule and flow of programs broadcast on Maryland Public Television will now be done out of Boston rather than Owings Mills.
The move will result in the elimination of two positions at the station, MPT management said.
In a plan that MPT President and CEO Larry D. Unger estimates will save the station more than $2 million during the next five years, the state-owned public broadcaster will outsource the function of master control to Public Media Management (PMM), a partnership between Boston’s WGBH and Sony Electronics.
