Jobs go at Sky Racing as Tabcorp switches focus
Tabcorp-owned Sky Racing has shed around 40 jobs in a restructure that will see a number of its magazine shows axed and coverage of racing expanded to 20 hours.
Inside Racing and Trials and Tribulations are among the programs expected to go as the channel looks to increase its focus on “wagering and our racing partners”.
Off the Beaten Track, GG Girls and Racing Around the World are also said to be history with new “operating procedures” enabling the expansion of racing with 8am starts and 4am finishes.
Among the roles to be made redundant include three presenters/race callers, three producers, five IT staff, three editors and three producers.
