Three jobs to go at national broadcaster

Manx Radio has announced three jobs are to go.

Difficult trading conditions are being blamed for the decision, which will see two posts closed in the sales and marketing department and a third in the newsroom.

The station earns 55 per cent of its revenue from advertising and sponsorship and, like other media in the Island, has seen revenue drop as a result of the economic downturn.

The station managing director is Anthony Pugh.
