CBS46 (WGCL-TV) this week suffered staff cutbacks, including two on-air journalists, two photographers and two special projects producers.

Meteorologist Molly McCollum and reporter Aiyana Cristal were among those who lost their jobs. McCollum joined the station in May 2018. Cristal has been with the station since January 2016.

Behind the scenes, special projects managers Natasha Lee and Phil Riley were dismissed, along with veteran photojournalists Mark Melvin and Ray Merriman.

The creative services team, which is responsible for on-air news promos, sales segments and graphics, was dissolved. Meredith, which owns CBS46, is consolidating that work in hubs in Nashville and Phoenix.

Here are 2 of the reported cuts at WGCL-TV.
 
Alicia Roberts was also let go. I tried emailing her a few days ago only to find out that her email address is defunct and no more.
 
Talk about a cutback. Meredith sacked 20 people IN ONE DAY back in 2005 at WGCL. The halls were awash in tears.
Meredith KNOWS how to do a layoff. They've been doing it for years.
