Revenue Drop Causes Layoffs At NRA-TV

NRA-TV, the media wing of the National Rifle Association (NRA), has reportedly laid off several employees following a $55 million revenue drop for the nation's most prominent gun-rights lobby, according to The Hill.

NRATV was launched in late 2016 and dubs itself the "online television platform of the powerful gun-rights lobby," including "two live news channels and 34 taped shows, all sponsored by gunmakers," according to its homepage.

Its offerings include programs hosted by NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch, CEO Wayne LaPierre, frequent Fox News guest Dan Bongino, and former Reagan National Security Council member Oliver North.

The layoffs were first reported in The Trace, a nonprofit online publication. It is not known how many employees are affected.

Cameron Gray, a correspondent and producer for NRATV, took to Twitter to confirm the report of layoffs.

“Some personal news: Just shy of my 10-year anniversary, me and several colleagues had their positions terminated this morning,” wrote Gray on Wednesday in a since-deleted tweet. "So, if you have or know of any jobs available in the DC-area, or any that can be done remotely, please let me know."
