CBS News‘ Saturday morning broadcast will look less distinct than the rest of the division’s morning-news programming, according to a person familiar with the matter, following layoffs across parent corporation Paramount Global unveiled Wednesday.
The layoffs will also affect CBS News operations in South Africa, this person says, with a bureau in Johannesburg closing and oversight of the region moving to London. Additionally. CBS News will cancel two companion programs tied to the weekday programs “CBS Evening News” and “CBS Mornings” that were primarily appearing on its streaming properties, this person says.
