Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has implemented a round of targeted layoffs as its traditional cable TV business continues to contract amid declining viewership, Todd Spangler of Variety reported. The company’s linear television portfolio has been impacted by broader industry trends tied to cord-cutting and fewer than 100 employees were affected. According to a source familiar with the matter, the reductions were evenly distributed across locations and networks. These cuts are reportedly part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s broader effort to streamline operations and improve efficiency.
