Is Commercial News on the way out??? Seems like it is in trouble. Closed Production Dept. Let 30 people go, most long time employees. More to come says the rumor mill. In any case too,too bad. Another down slide for Danville.

Once again, it's those who are poor and can't afford a computer or the internet, who will suffer.  If all they have is TV, well, you get the picture.  The mainstream media isn't known for facts......  What other papers are there in the area?

I walk in there about once a week or maybe once every 2 weeks, and it is like a skeleton of years past. So very sad.
