Disney Plans TV Unit Restructuring With Hundreds of Layoffs

This is a continuation of a cost-cutting pattern rather than a one-off, and the fact that details are still being finalized suggests the scope could shift. The affected units sit at the center of Disney's linear television operations, where consolidation signals a structural shift away from the traditional broadcast model. The open question is whether the earlier cuts in marketing, Pixar, ABC News, ESPN and the recent HR and IT reductions have already absorbed the bulk of the savings, or whether television remains the next target.
