Very quietly last week, Sinclair laid off a number of people at their digital venture Circa.

Sources tell FTVLive that somewhere around 10 people, mostly web Reporters were told they can pack up their stuff and leave.

Of the staff that remained, sources tell FTVLive that they were directed to continue with ongoing editing projects, but aren’t going to be shooting too many new stories.

Word is that the remaining staff are going to be transitioned to the new Circa (staffers are not certain if it will have a new name or not?) which, we're told will model itself off Breitbart.

There are whispers - though no confirmation - that Sinclair is pursuing Steve Bannon himself to join the new Circa.

Not sure we buy this one since Bannon has been dissed by Donald Trump and Sinclair's cozy relationship with Trump, makes it seem like an odd match.

But, we'll wait and see...
