ABC News and the ABC stations group were impacted by layoffs Wednesday, part of an ongoing round of restructuring at Disney.
Some 75 staffers at ABC News and at ABC’s owned local TV stations will be let go, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, split about evenly between the national news organization and the station group. No programming will be impacted, and no entire teams will be eliminated, but the company is making the changes to be “sustainable, efficient and future-forward,” per someone familiar with the decision.
ABC News president Almin Karamehmedovic and ABC stations chief Chad Matthews announced the restructuring in memos to their teams Wednesday.
