The cuts at Disney Entertainment Television will reportedly affect National Geographic, Freeform and local television stations, as well as marketing and publicity teams.
Walt Disney Co.'s television division is laying off about 2% of its workforce, or 140 people, as the Burbank media and entertainment giant continues a company-wide cost-cutting plan. The cuts at Disney Entertainment Television will primarily affect National Geographic, Freeform and local-owned television stations, as well as marketing and publicity teams, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to comment publicly.
3-billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox entertainment assets in 2019. The cuts come as Disney continues to cut costs in an attempt to save money and stem losses from its streaming business. Last year, Chief Executive Bob Iger said the company would lay off 7,000 people as part of a $5.5-billion cost-cutting plan. Those targets eventually swelled to $7.5 billion in savings and 8,000 eliminated roles.
