Warner Bros. Discovery Layoffs Shake Up TCM Leadership and Staff.
Warner Bros. Discovery has started laying off around 100 employees in its domestic cable group, including legacy Discovery and Turner outlets. The layoffs are part of the company's plan to cut costs amid rising losses from its streaming operations and the weakening macroeconomy. TCM general manager Pola Changnon is leaving the classic movie channel after more than 25 years with TCM and Turner. The staff cuts fell on the units overseen by Kathleen Finch, chairman and chief content officer of the U.S. networks group. More cost-cutting is expected in other divisions, including the corporate group later this summer.
