If there's any change, they're paying more.

Pintek's salary went off the books. They're not paying the freelancers (McIntire and Crow) for three shifts a week they were filling.

Hayes-Freeland and Bell are new costs. They're also adding a Saturday morning news shift. Extending a Mon-Fri news shift by a couple of hours can probably be done without increasing costs.

Crow said on the air and on Facebook that he will still be on KDKA after the changes go into effect. There's probably a couple of weekend shifts available.

By the way, "dollar a holler" refers to advertising packages that provide a large number of spots at a relatively modest cost. They're typically sold by smaller stations in the first quarter of the year, when ad revenue is very slow. The only thing you'll get for a dollar at KDKA is maybe a candy bar out of the vending machine.
