Mediaweek: Current TV cuts 80 staff across global offices
November 12th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Broadcasting, Editors' pick, Job losses
Current TV, the cable channel backed by former US vice president Al Gore, is to cut 80 full-time positions as part of a restructuring.
Jobs will be lost in Current’s Los Angeles, San Francisco and London offices. But Current says the cuts are not down to cost-cutting, but part of a ‘reallocation of resources’ and change to its programming, including more long-form programmes and bought-in content.
