Tue 10 Oct 2008TV3 lays off 15 and cuts news coverage as ad revenue slumps

TV3 HAS made 15 people redundant and is cutting back on its weekend news bulletins because of the advertising downturn.

From the beginning of November, its half-hour news bulletins on Saturday and Sunday at 5.30pm will be reduced to mini-bulletins lasting five minutes.
