Summary
Paramount Global's TV Media division underwent across-the-board layoffs, after which TV Media chair George Cheeks announced a new leadership structure for the company's cable brands. Cheeks sent a memo to staff outlining the reorganization aimed at reinventing and strengthening the brands to build a stronger future. The article frames the leadership changes as a response to recent cuts but does not specify an exact headcount, dates, or location for the layoffs. It provides context that the restructuring follows workforce reductions and is intended to consolidate leadership across Paramount's cable properties.
Paramount Global disclosed this layoff in an official WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice recorded by the CA state workforce agency on November 7, 2025. That record post-dates the layoff itself, which is how a late or amended filing reaches the state. The notice covers 197 employees in Melrose Avenue Los Angeles, CA (Los Angeles County), with the layoff effective October 29, 2025.
The state lists each affected employee separately by work location, so this filing spans 2 CA communities: Gower Street Los Angeles, Melrose Avenue Los Angeles.
That is roughly 0.9% of the 21,900 people Paramount Global employs.
