The Waco and Austin divisions of Time Warner Cable are merging in a move that may give local customers more services but ... eliminates 30 local jobs. Stacy Schmitt, vice president for public affairs in Waco, said the local office will make programming decisions that affect Waco-area customers, and Time Warner Cable will continue to sponsor and support area events. Those changes include shuffling some positions and eliminating 30 jobs in the Waco division, which includes offices in Waco, Temple, Killeen and Fort Hood. The cuts hit several departments but especially the telemarketing and bill-collecting areas. The Waco division employs about 450 people. The Austin division, meanwhile, employs more than 1,000 and suffered no job losses as a result of the merger.
