Time Warner Cable plans to lay off 45 employees in Wilmington as the company consolidates operations in the Triangle.

The telecommunications company notified the N.C. Department of Commerce that it expects to lay off 45 call center workers by Dec. 15.

The company announced last year it would merge operations in Morrisville; at the time it expected to transfer 100 jobs from the Wilmington facility.

Time Warner spokesman Keith Poston said about 20 of the Wilmington workers transferred to Morrisville and 50 left the company, leaving the 45 at the call center who will be laid off.

Time Warner closed a Fayetteville call center in 2010 and now has four such centers left in Charlotte, Greensboro, Morrisville and Columbia, S.C.

The company also said earlier this month it will fill more than 20 professional technical jobs in Morrisville at its network monitoring center.
