SOUTH BEND — Family Entertainment Television, Inc. and its affiliates formally announced it is moving to a four-day work week, effective immediately. The move allows FETV staff to work 32 hours per week, rather than the traditional 40, with no change in total compensation or benefits.

“The time has come to make a better work-life balance a reality for our people, and I believe this is a massive step forward,” said Drew Sumrall, CEO of Family Entertainment Television. “This is a solution that no one had asked for, but the response has been overwhelming, both internally as well as outside our organization. Moving forward, our ability to problem-solve will exponentially increase as we retain and attract the finest talent with this unmatched benefit.”

Starting Friday, July 11, Family Entertainment Television’s offices will be officially closed on Fridays. Family Broadcasting Corporation, the parent company of Family Entertainment Television, will also adopt a four-day work week.
