The parent company of CBS, Pluto TV, the Paramount Network, and the legendary Paramount Pictures is expected to shed under 100 workers in both New York and Los Angeles, concentrated largely in the ad sales group, with CBS Studios and Paramount Television Studios employees also affected, sourcesIn a major shakeup, Paramount has also said goodbye to longtime CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl and senior executive vice president of programming Thom Sherman.
The cost-cutting comes as advertising spending is plummeting across the board as consumers hit hard by Bidenflation are cutting back on their spending as the price of essential goods including groceries and gas continues to skyrocket to record levels. As Breitbart News, the fall in ad spending is hammering Hollywood with companies like Warner Bros. Discovery, AMC Networks, and Paramount all feeling the pain.
Paramount Global — previously ViacomCBS — recently reported that advertising revenue for its TV networks, including CBS, was down 3 percent for the most recent quarter. As a result, the company missed revenue expectations, causing its stock to plummet 12 percent. Earlier this week, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav described the current ad market as weaker than at any point during the coronavirus pandemic shutdowns of 2020.
If the ad market doesn’t improve in 2023, “it’s going to be hard” to meet the company’s $12 billion earnings forecast, Zaslavafter the company’s financial results for the most recent quarter fell significantly short of Wall Street’s expectations.

Heartbreaking. Just heartbreaking to see so many of these people lose their jobs... from paycheck-to-paycheck and now the BidenBreadLine ...just think of all of the used Teslas that will need to be resold... tragic.
Let all of Hollywood implode and sink to the depths of hell. Well sink like one more foot. As they are already that close to the Devil
Speaking as a person who loves to go to the movies, I seldom find one that is purely entertaining without attempting to “groom” me, so they have lost 80% of my movie revenue.
People don’t want to spend money on many of these woke movies.
The customer is king. Make a product people want.
I stepped on a roach that had just scuttled off a dead mouse outside a store, I felt more compassion for that roach than I do Paramount.
. . . go woke . . . go broke . . .
I wish they’d make more movies about oppressed groups
Buh Bye! Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you.
