Giant Food Stores is pulling its advertising from abc27 amid a discrimination complaint against the station’s general manager, according to Central Penn Business Journal.
This update comes after former abc27 anchor Flora Posteraro filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission alleging discrimination by the station and its general manager, CPBJ reported.
Giant told CPBJ:
“Following recent allegations against ABC 27’s general manager, GIANT Food Stores has decided to temporarily suspend our advertising with the station until the matter is appropriately resolved. We are fully committed to supporting fair and safe workplace environments.”
Capital BlueCross also pulled its ads with abc27 in late March.
