Bloomberg has pulled the plug on “Baystate Business,” its only locally
produced radio program, and laid off hosts including Kim Carrigan, Tom
Moroney, and Joe Shortsleeve.

The show — which aired from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on 106.1 FM
Boston/Newburyport and 92.9 HD2, and was also available as a podcast —
was replaced starting Monday by “Bloomberg Businessweek,” which
broadcasts across the company’s radio network.

Also laid off in Boston were on-air staffers Anne Mostue and Janet Wu,
and executive producer Peter Lagace.
