CW Network Cuts Over 24 Jobs in Publicity and Development

The CW network, owned by Nexstar, has laid off over two dozen employees from its publicity and program development teams as part of a strategic shift towards sports, unscripted content, and select scripted series to achieve profitability. This move follows the recent exit of CW network president Dennis Miller and comes amid Nexstar's efforts to streamline operations and reduce losses, which were narrowed by $36 million in the third quarter of 2024. The network has seen increased viewership with new sports programming like NASCAR and WWE.
