The York Daily Record - News Full: "Nearly 300 white-collar workers and support staff at the corporate offices of Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co., its Susquehanna Media division and its communications subsidiaries will be laid off from the company as early as April 24.

The job terminations come four months after Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff first said Phila- delphia-based Comcast Corp. would buy Susquehanna Communications and Internet service provider BlazeNet for $775 million, while a group of private investors led by Atlanta-based Cumulus Media would buy Sus- quehanna Radio for $1.2 billion.

In a letter dated Feb. 23 to the state Department of Labor and Industry, Mayor John Brenner and City Council President Cameron Texter, Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff wrote that its York corporate offices, as well as those of Susquehanna Media Co., Susquehanna Cable Co. and Susquehanna Radio Corp., would close.

It added that the employment of the people working in those offices would be terminated.

The 283 terminated jobs include a Susquehanna Radio human resources vice president; an attorney, accountants and assistants at Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff; an information technology vice president at Susquehanna Media; and customer service personnel at Susquehanna Cable."
