Struggling CNN is shaking up its London operation as it seeks to consolidate CNN International, according to TVNewser.
CNN will cut 90 minutes of CNNi programming that is produced in London, replacing it with a simulcast of CNN’s ratings-challenged U.S. programming “for the time being,” according to the report.
TVNewser, which was started by CNN’s Brian Stelter, reported that “overall headcount will be unchanged” and “some of the London-based jobs will shift to Atlanta.” However, the decision to cut CNN’s London-based operation “is likely to result in dozens of employees losing their jobs,” according to The Guardian.
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The consolidation of CNNi comes after longtime CNN International executive vice president Tony Maddox accepted a voluntary buyout option to exit the company earlier this month. Over 100 veteran employees have joined Maddox in accepting the deal as CNN seeks to trim headcount.
