The Miami Herald says that Radio and TV Martí will lay off 20 percent of their workforce in a shake-up aimed at retooling the anti-Castro stations in the face of a steep federal budget cut. In its funding request to Congress, the agency that oversees the Miami-based Radio and TV Martí submitted a budget that allocates $2.4 million less to the controversial broadcasts.
The stations will change formats in response to the proposed budget cut. Radio Martí will go to an all-news format, and TV Martí will have a five-minute news update every half hour, with other shows in between.
