BONNEVILLE INTERNATIONAL is reacting in sharp contrast to other major broadcasters, and promising no layoffs, pay cuts or furloughs because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pres. DARRELL BROWN has "no present plans" to cut jobs. In a press release, the company touted initiatives presently underway in SAN FRANCISCO, SEATTLE, SALT LAKE CITY, DENVER, PHOENIX and SACRAMENTO.

"BONNEVILLE has always prioritized our purpose above our profits," said BROWN. "Our mission and the reason our company was created was to be a trusted voice that builds up, informs, connects and celebrates the families and communities we serve, and there is a great need right now for all of those things."

Regarding job security, the release noted, "All employees except for essential personnel are working remotely," and BROWN added BONNEVILLE, "has no present plans to cut jobs. Full and part-time employees who would otherwise lose hours due to the cancellation of events and some programming are now assisting other departments." He continued, "We are taking advantage of this time to provide employees with additional training and we hope all employees with extra time will look for safe ways to serve within their neighborhoods and communities."

In order to build up, connect, inform and celebrate UTAH’s communities, BONNEVILLE/SALT LAKE is launching a "Stronger Together UTAH" campaign. The campaign aims to help get the word out and drive traffic to any local business that is staying open during the COVID-19 crisis. The campaign will also direct people to SupportUtahDining.com and CurbsideUtah.com.

The campaign will also highlight stories of compassion, patience and individuals coming together to help each other while staying apart. People are encouraged to use the hashtag #togetherUtah to share their stories and show support for local businesses.
