July 2026, News 12 cuts back Connecticut newsroom amid layoffs — Stamford Advocate

by | Jul 16, 2026

News 12 announced reductions that will scale back locally produced programming in Connecticut, combining broadcast news for multiple regions into a single consolidated segment. The parent company framed the changes as a response to shifting audience behaviour and platform diversification, but journalists and local observers warned the cuts will reduce hyperlocal coverage. The action is part of wider restructuring across regional News 12 operations, following past personnel reductions, and reflects broader industry pressure from declining linear viewership and advertising revenue.
