The Outdoor Channel has eliminated 30 jobs at its Tulsa subsidiary Winnercomm Inc. according to Tom Hornish, CEO of Outdoor Channel Holdings Inc.
Winnercomm focuses on television and web production, development and marketing as well as the SkyCam and CableCam mobile camera systems used in televised sports and other live events.
The job cuts, which total 25 percent of the 120 employees at Winnercomm, were mostly across the board, but the SkyCam and CableCam divisions were not affected Hornish said. At its peak in September 2008, Winnercom employed 180 people.
Winnercomm was purchased by Outdoor Channel Holdings of Temecula, CA in January 2009. At the time of the acquisition, Winnercomm CEO Jim Wilburn speculated that it could lead to more jobs in Tulsa as the company increased its services for The Outdoor Channel.
