Overview
CNN is cutting 200 TV-focused jobs, about 6% of its workforce, as part of a digital transformation strategy supported by a $70 million investment from Warner Bros. Discovery. CEO Mark Thompson aims to generate $1 billion in digital revenue by 2030, hiring for digital roles to offset job losses in TV. The network plans to enhance lifestyle coverage and refresh its cable lineup, as it adapts to changing viewer habits and declines in traditional revenues.
