On Thursday, NBC News and MSNBC were hit with a round of layoffs, though the impact appears to be less severe than the staff reductions at other media entities. According to a source, the layoffs were in the double digits, out of a workforce of about 3,500. CNN reported that the number was around 75. The staff cuts were also scattered across the divisions, with no on-air talent expected to be impacted.

These layoffs come on the heels of an announcement earlier this week of layoffs across the parent company, NBCUniversal, numbering in the dozens. This follows a reorganization of NBC News, with Noah Oppenheim departing as president and his duties being split among three top executives, with each reporting to NBCU News Group Chairman Cesar Conde.

The network has been adding positions in recent years to areas like streaming, as it positions for growth in that area. Like other networks, NBC News has been adapting to changes in viewer habits, as more and more people turn to streaming platforms for their news and entertainment.

Overall, it is clear that the media industry is going through a period of change and uncertainty, as companies try to navigate the shifting landscape and find new ways to reach audiences. While it is always difficult to see staff reductions, it is important to remember that these decisions are made with the goal of ensuring the long-term success of the company.
