WEAR TV lays off veteran staff

Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of WEAR-TV, has laid about a dozen employees last week from its Pensacola station, including April Baker, Steve Nissim and Kathryn Daniel. All were given two-weeks notice, but are no longer allowed on air effective immediately. Nissim and Daniel have each been with Channel 3 for about two decades. Neither were given a chance to say goodbye to viewers.
