Alabama Public Television (APT) announced on Thursday that, due to a $2 million cut in federal funding for its fiscal year 2026, the organization will reduce staff and reorganize its departments.
The changes will take effect on September 30.
“This is a very difficult day for Alabama Public Television,” said Wayne Reid, executive director of APT. “The funding loss has forced us into a position we never wanted to face. I am deeply saddened that this situation has required us to eliminate valued positions. On behalf of APT, I want to sincerely thank our employees for their years of service, hard work, and dedication to our mission.”
Reid didn’t specify how many jobs were being cut.
