Quokka Sports

Online sports media site Quokka Sports (QKKA: news, msgs) said it will cut 59 percent of its 369 employees to pare down its burn rate by 65 percent, to less than $2 million per month. The layoffs will result in a $1 million charge in the first quarter.

To pick up more revenue, the company will work on more live event coverage beyond the sporting world. As well, a separate unit for technology infrastructure will work with companies that want to create video and audio content for the Web.

Investors liked the news, and moved shares of San Francisco-based Quokka up 6 cents to 25 cents after finishing the day flat at 19 cents
