Network may end legislative broadcasts in Iowa
Iowa Public Radio considers ending live floor debate broadcasts due to budget cuts and staff vacancies. Officials stress no final decision has been made though the cost of keeping reporters at the Statehouse and circuits to Ames is high. ISU operates WOI radio and TV as separate units, with Gov Branstad pressuring TV profits.
