Channel One closures threaten 80 job losses

Article Abstract:

Channel One's decision to shut down its newsgathering and production operations in London, UK, and Bristol, UK, is expected to result in the elimination of about 80 jobs. The closure, which will take place on Sept. 25, 1998 at 6 pm, has been brought about by the lack of cable subscriptions. Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT), the parent company of Channel One, is expected to offer employees who will lose their jobs with terms, believed to include payment that is equivalent to up to one-year salary for those who have been working for the company for a long time.
