Allen Media Cuts More Staff at Louisiana Station

Allen Media owned station KADN laid off more employees in its news department on Tuesday.

Five staffers were let go from the Lafayette, Louisiana Fox and NBC affiliate, including anchors Taylor Trache and Jeff Horchak and meteorologist Michael Crowley. Two producers were also let go.

This latest round comes nearly three months after the station let go of 19, including its noon time program crew, and nine months after Allen Media laid off five others.

Trache has been with the station since 2016 shortly after graduating from the University of Florida. Horchak had been with the station for nearly four years after working 12 years at KLFY. 

According to Bloomberg, Allen Media has a significant amount of debt and has been making late payments to network owners in recent months.
