After Warner Bros. Discovery announced layoffs at Turner Classic Movies, filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson conferred with WBD chief David Zaslav about the future of the cinema network.
has learned that the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO convened a call with the trio of top filmmakers on Wednesday for guidance following the departure of top TCM execs, including general manager Pola Changnon, who stepped down after more than 25 years with the network and Turner.
The cuts came as Warner Bros. Discovery implements a round of layoffs in its domestic cable group that affect about 100 employees across legacy Discovery and Turner brands. Other top TCM executives exiting the company are senior VP of programming and content strategy Charles Tabesh; VP of studio production Anne Wilson; VP marketing and creative Dexter Fedor; and VP enterprises and strategic partnerships Genevieve McGillicuddy, who also served as the director of the annual TCM Film Festival.
