ABC News Makes Cuts Merges Shows

FTVLive told you that ABC News was looking to cut about 6% of its workforce and they are also looking to consolidate shows.

The network is said to be restructuring its programming and that includes merging “20/20” and “Nightline,” and consolidating its “Good Morning America” and GMA3 productions.

In a memo to the staff ABC News boss Almin Karamehmedovic wrote, “Rethinking the way we work to future-proof our team regrettably includes reductions to our extraordinary staff,” Karamehmedovic wrote, adding, “These decisions are incredibly challenging and today will undoubtedly be difficult for our organization.”

It’s funny how these decisions are always “difficult”, yet the bosses remain employed.

In total ABC will cut about 200 people.
