Dominic Mancuso out as vice president at WFLD-TV/WPWR-TV

Dominic Mancuso, a Chicago TV veteran of more than 20 years, has had his position as vice president of programming and promotions eliminated at Fox-owned WFLD-Ch. 32 and WPWR-Ch. 50.

Six other positions -- two account executives, two sales assistants, a stage hand and an overnight weekend assignment editor -- also were cut at the News Corp. duopoly, which, like every other media outfit, is looking for ways to rein in costs in response to economic conditions.

The company confirmed Mancuso's last day was Jan. 7.

Mancuso joined WFLD and WPWR in 2006 after Chicago Tribune parent Tribune Co.'s WGN-Ch. 9 eliminated his position as station manager in late 2005. He had spent 18 years at WGN.
