Paramount Global launched a deep round of staff cuts Tuesday, a move aimed at eliminating nearly 2,000 jobs by year's end as the company prepares for a new ownership regime. Company leaders announced last week they would reduce Paramount's U.S.-based workforce by 15% in an effort to save $500 million in annualized costs.

The Skydance deal currently earmarks $2.4 billion to buy National Amusements.
