CNN is set to lay off staffers this week as boss Mark Thompson presses ahead with a sweeping digital overhaul — with deeper cuts looming as a potential merger reshapes the network’s future.
The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned outlet is set to cut “a few dozen” staffers as it moves to modernize its 3,000-plus global workforce, according to the Status newsletter.
The cuts are expected to hit roles not tied to growth areas, marking CNN’s latest move away from its cable roots and toward a digital-first future, Status reported.
The move follows a prior round of cuts under Thompson, who eliminated about 6% of CNN’s workforce last year as part of an ongoing effort to shift the network away from its legacy cable model and toward digital growth.
This week’s cuts are likely to pale in comparison to layoffs expected if Paramount takes ownership of CNN as part of its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Paramount agreed last month to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery in a deal valued at about $31 per share, or roughly $110 billion, fending off a rival bid from Netflix, which had previously struck an agreement to buy the company’s studios and streaming assets before walking away.
Paramount’s deal for Warner Bros. Discovery, which is still subject to government approval, comes months after the company merged with Skydance Media in August 2025 under CEO David Ellison.
Under Ellison, Paramount’s CBS News division has already undergone sweeping layoffs as part of a broader restructuring — cuts that could foreshadow similar moves at CNN if the deal is approved.

Not a vast position, but I do have a little position in WBD stock. I’m going to get a nice +300% payout, plus I’ll get the enjoy the bloodbath when the Paramount boys take over CNN. Yummy yummy!
How many people do you need to read democrat talking points over and over?
I’m thinking they could get by with two IT guys and AI newsreaders.
Have Google sell ads.
Same. I enjoyed tossing the prospectus urging a vote for the Netflix deal in the trash as the Ellisons had already ‘trumped’ them by the time it arrived.
I saw that weasel-faced troll Wolf Blizzard on some clip the other day and hope he’s the first big to go.
That would be a start...
No sense trying to clean a toilet full of vile-smelling turds without an initial major flush...
Will be good to see Dana Bish go too. Probably to “MS”.

Yes, if they want to succeed again. Currently, I won't click into a CNN story because my Tagline is still accurate.
