Description
Paramount Skydance's Major Layoffs: A Thousand Jobs Cut Across Television DivisionsParamount Global has initiated a significant wave of layoffs, affecting approximately one thousand employees, following its merger with Skydance. The cuts have predominantly impacted linear broadcast and cable networks, with marketing teams, communications departments, and programming divisions hit hard. High-ranking executives, including Teri Fleming and multiple senior programming executives at CBS Entertainment, have been let go. The streaming side, Paramount Plus, has also lost key figures like Jeff Grossman. MTV and CMT have seen significant reductions in their talent and communications teams, reflecting a shift away from original music series production. CBS News has experienced deep cuts, with around one hundred positions eliminated, including the closure of its Johannesburg bureau. Another round of layoffs is expected, primarily targeting international operations. The restructuring aims to streamline operations and eliminate redundancies, but employees remain concerned about the future of their departments and the company's ability to maintain its current operations.
