"Disney Cuts Nearly 200 Jobs at ABC News and Entertainment Networks
The data-driven news brand 538 will be shuttered in the cuts.
The Walt Disney Co. is slashing just under 200 jobs at ABC News and at its Disney Entertainment Networks division as the traditional TV business continues to face economic headwinds, a source familiar with the decision tells The Hollywood Reporter. The cuts represented about 6 percent of the division’s workforce.
ABC News will be hit particularly hard, with the data-driven digital news brand 538 being shuttered, teams from Nightline and 20/20 being consolidated, and all three hours of Good Morning America moving under the same top producer, Simone Swink. The company is also merging its digital and social operations.
Disney’s entertainment networks will see cuts in program planning and scheduling, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the cuts there. Disney’s channels include FX and Freeform. The newsletter Status first reported the looming cuts at ABC News."

As the media told laid off workers- learn to code. 538 is no more. Democrats will be devastated.
