Ex-Employees Hit TV Station with Lawsuit Regarding COVID Vaccine Mandate

Two former employees of Lexington-based news station WKYT and parent company Gray Media are suing both the station and the company after they were allegedly fired for not getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

DeAnn Stephens Cox and Ashley Landis filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court last week. Cox held a variety of positions at WKYT for 27 years. Landis is a former national sales manager for the company.
