More than a dozen people will be out of a job following a restructure at Southern Cross Ten.


The restructure was announced to staff last week and will involve 13 roles being slashed from the playout presentation department at the Television Centre in Canberra


A spokeswoman for Southern Cross Austereo said 17 roles would be offered in the new structure, which will see 30 jobs being consolidated down to seventeen.


“Southern Cross Austereo is still communicating and consulting with its staff on the changes,” she said.


“No staff have been made redundant however Southern Cross Austereo will consider voluntary redundancy in line with the provisions in its Collective Agreement.”


No comment was provided on future cuts at the station.


Comment has been sought from the Community and Public Sector Union regarding potential industrial action.


The moves follow downsizing at WIN, which moved its local broadcast to the station’s headquarters in Wollongong in June.


The change was widely criticized by local viewers, including ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher.
