Bloody cut backs at RUV: Elin Hirst amongst those laid off.  E-mail
Thursday, 21 January 2010 19:16
The news anchor Elin Hirst and the program managers Thura Tomasdottir, Elsa Maria Jakobsdottir and Johanna Vilhjalmsdottir have been laid off from RUV, the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service. They received the announcement today but they will be announced formally tomorrow according to the sources of Visir.

Tomorrow will be bloody at the RUV since there are plans to lay off close to twenty employees according to the sources of Visir.

Elin Hirst has been the news anchor for RUV for many years as well as she handles the news commentary show Frettaaukinn with Bogi Agustsson. Thora, Elsa Maria and Johanna are program managers for Kastljos but the cut backs are going to be harmful to that show.

The lay offs are a part of the cut back plans of the RUV but the RUV needs to cut back by 300 million króna.
