I’m not surprised. NY show teams are beyond bloated. I guess because primetime and morning programming have been considered extra important??
Atlanta show teams don’t have nearly as many people. I suppose that’s part of the cost savings here.
You don’t have to pay people as much in Atlanta. And you can probably cut 20 positions in the process (at least!).
And does that 50-person team include the studio and control room staff? Perhaps not. Those jobs are also going away.
These are pretty significant layoffs.
And I’m sure Mark Thompson isn’t done yet.
