Scripps is slashing 268 jobs across its TV stations, including over a dozen at KRIS six News, as part of a bold transformation plan to embrace AI and cut costs in a shifting media landscape. The cuts hit key behind-the-scenes roles like producers and directors — and even some on-air talent — as the company pivots toward 24/7 local news streams powered by automation. CEO Adam Symson admits it’s painful but necessary to stay relevant and sustainable, especially after revenue dropped sharply last year. These new systems were built internally over three years, and Scripps is centralizing operations — not just to save money, but to future-proof its business.
