Disney Entertainment Television is preparing for significant layoffs as part of a company-wide restructuring. Managers have been given targets for cost savings, with some aiming for a 20% reduction. These cuts are expected to be intertwined with a reorganization led by Chairman Debra OConnell, likely beginning in early 2027. The TV networks division is anticipated to be heavily impacted due to a strategic shift away from the declining linear TV business. This move follows previous reductions and a recent sale of a stake in A+E Global Media.
