PR Execs Among Layoffs at A&E Television Networks

The merger of A&E Television Networks and Lifetime Entertainment Services will not be without layoffs, as the company eliminated 10% of its workforce – 100 people – this past Friday. Among the layoffs were “two senior PR executives.” We hear that the layoffs mostly affected Lifetime, and the network has not responded to PRNewser as of the time of this post.

The Dowd Agency, recently acquired by Middleberg Communications, does work with multiple AETN programs, and a source at AETN tells PRNewser that the agency “definitely still works with them,” and added there is “no reason that they’d be eliminated.”
