Layoffs coming to Warner Bros. Discovery

  • Hundreds of people are expected to be laid off on the business side of Warner Bros. Discovery, via a round of layoffs that will begin Tuesday, sources tell Axios.Why it matters: Executives have warned for months that the merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery would yield roughly $3 billion in synergies.
    • Rising interest rates and a weak macro-economic climate has put pressure on media companies to be more disciplined about costs.

    Details: About 30% of the combined ad sales teams across WarnerMedia and Discovery are expected to be cut over the next few weeks, sources told Axios.
