15 Laid Off at KKTV and KOAA as Scripps Forms Colorado Springs Duopoly
E.W. Scripps is laying off 15 roles at Colorado Springs stations KKTV and KOAA as part of a national restructuring. The move will create a duopoly in the market, with Scripps integrating the two newsrooms to reduce duplicate daily coverage and expand original reporting for southern Colorado. Both affected employees said they are seeking new jobs, while Scripps said the combined newsroom will focus on community priorities.
