Nine Network staff, including those based in Albury, were informed on Friday regional bulletins will end on June 30 when the switch from Southern Cross Austereo back to WIN takes place.
Nine regional news services were suspended last March due to the COVID-19 pandemic before resuming in August with a statewide format.
"We are aware that there will be some roles impacted as a result of this change but those impacted can be assured that director of News and Current Affairs Darren Wick and his team are actively looking at options for redeployment for as many employees as possible," Nine Network chief executive Hugh Marks said.
Albury was among 15 regional newsrooms created in 2016 when Nine did a deal with Southern Cross.
It increased from 14.57 per cent to 19.99 per cent..
Prime's local news service is consistently among its highest rating programs in the Albury-Wodonga market.
