Discovery Cuts 200

Discovery today cut approximately 200 staffers, 3% of its workforce, in the second round of an internal restructure instituted by new President/CEO David Zaslav.

The cuts came predominantly from the US Networks group, including Discovery Channel and Animal Planet; the Education group; and some Corporate Service groups, including production, corporate communications and technological services. About 20% of the aggregate staffs of those divisions were cut.

Most of the jobs were located in Discovery’s Silver Spring, MD headquarters.
